Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – WhatsApp users can now use more than one account per cellphone. This new capability was announced by the instant messaging platform some time ago.
“What’s better than having a WhatsApp account? Yes, of course having two,” said WhatsApp in a post on its official blog, quoted Monday (23/10/2023).
“Today we are introducing the ability to log in to two WhatsApp accounts on Android simultaneously. It is very useful for switching between accounts, such as work and personal,” added the company.
With this new capability, WhatsApp users no longer need to bother log out or leave to change accounts and bring two cellphones at once. With just one cellphone you can use two WhatsApp accounts.
In the image shared in the upload, it can be seen that the user just has to select one of the accounts in the profile menu. The selected or active account is represented by a checklist in the circle next to the user number.
WhatsApp also reminds us to only use official applications and not use imitations or fakes to get this feature. Because by using the official platform, WhatsApp ensures that messages shared will be safe and private.
Monitoring CNBC Indonesia, this feature is already available for Android phones. However, if you haven’t gotten it yet, you need to be patient, because new features usually take time to be used by all users.
WhatsApp also shares how to use two numbers at once on one cellphone. Prepare a second SIM card or cellphone that supports multi SIM or e-SIM.
Once ready, here are the steps to use two accounts on one cellphone:
1. Open the WhatsApp application on your Android cellphone
2. Click the Settings menu
3. Press the down arrow next to the profile name
4. You will see the account with the cellphone number you are currently using. To add an account, click ‘Add account’ or ‘Add account’.
5. Follow all WhatsApp instructions
