If you operate from two mobile numbers, be it for business or personal purposes, there are ways on Android and iPhone to run two WhatsApp accounts on the same device.
Several Android manufacturers offer a feature that lets you run two instances of the same app. In contrast, iPhone users will have to use a workaround available in the WhatsApp Business app to run a second account from their device.
The name of the dual app setting will differ slightly between different Android manufacturers. On Samsung, it’s called Dual Messenger; on Huawei, it’s App Twin; on Xiaomi, it’s Dual Apps. Setting the functionality up is simple, and the steps for Samsung and Huawei are outlined below.
Samsung
On your Samsung device, go to settings, then in the search bar, type Advanced Features.
In the Advanced Features menu, there will be a Dual Messenger option. There is no built-in “Dual App” function on iPhone, but you can use the Whatsapp Business app to operate two accounts simultaneously on the same device. Your other account doesn’t have to be a “business” number to do this.
During the setup of the WhatsApp Business app on your iPhone, select the option Use a different number to input the number of the additional account you would like to operate from the device.
You will be asked to set up a business profile. Here simply enter your name and select Not a business as your business category.
