It will finally be possible to use multiple accounts on the same phone with WhatsApp for iPhone
If you’re a WhatsApp user, you’ve probably wished at some point that you could use more than one account on the same phone. Well, there’s good news for you: the latest WhatsApp beta update that’s been released includes this feature, suggesting that it will soon be available to all iPhone users.
This access was something that those with an iPhone had been waiting for a long time, as we should not forget that Android phone users have had access to this feature for some time now.
You can set up additional WhatsApp accounts on a single device in just a few steps. Of course, there is one thing you need to do to take advantage of this feature: you will need to have another phone number.
The truth is that it has been recognized that, as we mentioned before, in the latest update of WhatsApp for iOS, “the need for multiple devices or parallel applications to manage different WhatsApp accounts has been eliminated, simplifying account management and improving convenience for users.” In this way, iPhone users will be able to add a new account to the Meta-owned application using two different methods. The first method involves setting the device as the primary account, while the second method involves allowing you to scan a QR code to link the new account as an additional account.
While users will be able to keep all their conversations organized within one app, elements like notifications, chats, backups, and settings will remain separate for different accounts, each of which will operate independently within the app. Until now, the workaround has been for users to use WhatsApp Business and use another number for that account, but the new feature will allow you to use the main app to manage both numbers at the same time, meaning you no longer have to switch between apps.
The arrival of the ability to use multiple WhatsApp accounts on iPhone is great news for users. This feature offers a wide range of benefits in terms of organization, efficiency, privacy, and control. This option is expected to be rolled out to all users very quickly, which is a huge positive for all the reasons mentioned above.
