How to use two WhatsApp accounts on one device?

WhatsApp’s new feature:  WhatsApp is rolling out a new feature that allows users to have two accounts logged in at the same time on the same device. This convenient feature is particularly helpful for individuals who need to switch between work and personal accounts without the hassle of logging out each time or carrying two phones.

In the official announcement, WhatsApp also highlighted the importance of using only the official version of the app to ensure the security and privacy of messages. Users are advised against downloading imitations or fake versions in an attempt to manage multiple accounts on a single device. According to Meta, security and privacy are maintained only when using the official WhatsApp app.

To set up a second account, users will need either a second phone number and SIM card or a phone that supports multi-SIM or eSIM functionality.
