There are several third-party apps that let you mirror your WhatsApp account on your phone. Messenger Duo for WhatsApp lets you link two accounts to your iPhone and offers a bunch of exclusive features like converting voice messages to texts, chat lock, quick send, fancy fonts, message scheduler, and more. In order to link a secondary account all you need to do is scan the QR code on the app using the ‘linked devices’ option on the WhatsApp app. This is similar to how you log in to the official WhatsApp Web Portal. As you may have already guessed by now, this method will require your WhatsApp account to be active on a secondary device at the time of login.

  1. I don’t like whatsapp. The program is not strong in terms of encryption. In particular, I don’t like that a person’s account is passed as a phone number. It is better to use uMessenger, the built-in messenger of Utopia’s P2P ecosystem. It is designed for instant and confidential communication between network users.
