How to use several accounts on WhatsApp on same device

Posted on

Users of WhatsApp can now use several accounts on the same device, unlike before, when they could only use one account. If users want to use two accounts on a single device, they would have to clone the app, which is something that most phones support. On Android handsets, users can switch between the two current accounts without logging out, and they can be logged in simultaneously.

How to use several accounts on WhatsApp on same device

Using multiple WhatsApp accounts on the same device is possible through various methods, including built-in features, third-party apps, and cloning techniques. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to achieve this:

Method 1: WhatsApp Business App (Official Method)

  1. Download WhatsApp Business: Visit the Google Play Store or Apple App Store and download the WhatsApp Business app.

  2. Install and Open: Once downloaded, install the app and open it.

  3. Setup: Follow the setup process by verifying your phone number. Use the secondary phone number you want to associate with this WhatsApp Business account.

  4. Use Business Tools: WhatsApp Business offers additional tools for managing your business account, such as automated messages, labels, and statistics.

Method 2: Parallel Space App (Third-party App)

  1. Download Parallel Space: Go to the Google Play Store and download the Parallel Space app.

  2. Install and Open: After installation, open the Parallel Space app.

  3. Add WhatsApp: Inside Parallel Space, tap on the “+” icon to add WhatsApp.

  4. Setup: Follow the setup process for WhatsApp within Parallel Space. You'll need to verify your secondary phone number.

  5. Access Both WhatsApp Accounts: You can now access both your primary WhatsApp account and the secondary one through Parallel Space.

Method 3: App Cloning (For Some Android Devices)

  1. Check Device Compatibility: Not all Android devices support app cloning. Check if your device has this feature in its settings.

  2. Enable App Cloning: If your device supports app cloning, go to Settings > Apps > App Cloning, and enable it.

  3. Clone WhatsApp: Once enabled, select WhatsApp from the list of apps to clone.

  4. Setup Cloned WhatsApp: Open the cloned version of WhatsApp and set it up using your secondary phone number.

Method 4: Using Dual SIM Features (For Dual SIM Phones)

  1. Check Dual SIM Capability: Ensure your device supports dual SIM functionality.

  2. Setup Dual SIMs: Insert both SIM cards into your device and activate them.

  3. Install WhatsApp: Install WhatsApp normally from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.

  4. Verify Second Number: During setup, verify your second phone number using the secondary SIM card.

  5. Switch Accounts: Most dual SIM phones have built-in features to switch between accounts easily.

Method 5: WhatsApp Web (For Desktop Access)

  1. Primary Account: Log in to your primary WhatsApp account on your mobile device.

  2. Open Browser: Open a web browser on your computer and go to web.whatsapp.com.

  3. Scan QR Code: In the browser, you'll see a QR code. Open WhatsApp on your phone, go to Settings > WhatsApp Web, and scan the QR code with your phone.

  4. Use Secondary Account: You can now access your primary WhatsApp account on your computer. Repeat the process with a different browser or incognito mode to access your secondary account.

Tips and Considerations:

  • Storage Space: Running multiple instances of WhatsApp may consume additional storage space on your device.

  • Battery Life: Using multiple WhatsApp accounts simultaneously may drain your device's battery faster.

  • Security: Be cautious when using third-party apps or unofficial methods, as they may compromise the security of your accounts.

  • Updates: Keep all instances of WhatsApp updated to ensure compatibility and security patches.

  • Privacy: Be mindful of your privacy settings on both accounts, especially if one is for personal use and the other for business or other purposes.

By following these methods, you can efficiently manage multiple WhatsApp accounts on the same device, whether it's for personal, business, or other purposes. Choose the method that best suits your device and needs, and enjoy seamless communication across all your accounts.
