WhatsApp is would have tested Its multiple accounts feature, previously rolled out on Android Beta, to iOS users in an upcoming update.
This addition simplifies account management, allowing users to log into multiple accounts within a single application.
Why it matters
- Convenience: The feature eliminates the need for multiple devices or parallel apps to manage personal and work WhatsApp accounts.
- Flexibility: Users can manage multiple accounts directly from the app settings, providing a streamlined experience for those juggling different phone numbers.
How it works
- Users can either:
- Start fresh with a primary account.
- Link an existing account via QR code.
- Each account operates independently, maintaining separate chats, notifications, backups, and settings.
- Ideal for dual SIM users, it allows you to manage both numbers without relying on WhatsApp Business or additional devices.
What’s next
This multi-account feature is still under development for iOS, with its release planned in a future update. Stay tuned for more updates as WhatsApp works towards consistent features across platforms.
