Tired of managing multiple WhatsApp accounts on different phones? Multiple accounts being used on separate devices is no longer a problem with WhatsApp. With the recently released Multiple account feature for WhatsApp, you may now switch between two different accounts on a single device. As of right now, Android users can use WhatsApp with numerous accounts.
Meta’s chief Mark Zuckerberg has launched a multiple-account feature for WhatsApp. His post on Facebook reads, “Switch between two accounts on WhatsApp. Soon you’ll be able to have two WhatsApp accounts on one phone within the app.” He also shared a screenshot of a new feature demonstrating two WhatsApp accounts on a single phone.
WhatsApp official blog post reads “Today, we’re introducing the ability to have two WhatsApp accounts on Android logged in at the same time. Helpful for switching between accounts – such as your work and personal – now you no longer need to log out each time, carry two phones or worry about messaging from the wrong place.”
The introduction of this Multiple accounts feature on WhatsApp will prevent users from downloading imitations or fake versions as a way of getting more accounts on their devices. This will help in keeping their personal data and chats secure and private. Users can easily switch from one account to another and set up their work and personal WhatsApp accounts on one single phone.
Also, users will be able to control their privacy and notification settings on each account. They can mute notifications on their primary or secondary account. Besides this WhatsApp also allows its users to set up a single account on multiple phones.
