WhatsApp Is Finally Bringing Multiple Accounts to iPhone

WhatsApp iPhone app finally ushered in a major update, which will be in line with the Android companion app: support for using multiple accounts on one device. This "new" feature has been launched on the Android platform since 2023 and has been discovered in the latest TestFlight beta version of the iPhone app. If (more likely when) the multi-account switching function is finally released to the public version, users can manage and log in to multiple

It should be noted that each account still needs to have a separate phone number, so you need a phone with multiple SIM cards, or other ways to get an extra phone number

New iPhones can usually store up to eight eSIMs and use two phone numbers, so this shouldn't be a problem. In addition, it is worth noting that WhatsApp currently offers

WhatsApp Business apps in addition to standard applications, so iPhone users can actually maintain two accounts on one device—one for each app—but This change will still provide users with greater flexibility. According to WABetaInfo, there are two ways to use multiple WhatsApp accounts on a single device. You can simply set up your new account as a separate master account or use the QR code to link it to an existing account as a "companion account". The website clarifies that “notifications, chats and backups for each account will remain independent”, so the registration method you choose is more about the ease of setup than the way you actually use the app.

While

WhatsApp's TestFlight beta program is open to the public, new members are not accepted at present, so long-awaited iPhone users must wait for the final version to experience the multi-account switching feature. Unfortunately, WABetaInfo has no updates on when the feature will be available, but if you've been planning to buy a second device for WhatsApp, it's better to wait for now.
