WhatsApp

users think that it is not possible to use two WhatsApp accounts on a single phone. This is not true. It is verily possible to have two copies of WhatsApp on one phone when the phone you have is a dual-SIM phone. In fact, some phone manufacturers offer this as an inbuilt feature. In some phones, you will have to resort to a third party app. Especially when you have an Android phone, it is very easy to run two parallel accounts of WhatsApp on a single phone.

What is the essential condition?

To run two WhatsApp accounts on a single phone, you will need to have a dual-SIM phone. This is because, WhatsApp uses the phone number to as your identity and it detects your identity via a call or SMS. When you have a dual-SIM phone and would like to use two WhatsApp accounts on the same phone, you must first check the settings since it is possible that the phone maker would have already created settings on dual WhatsApp. Many Chinese phone makers let you create clones of apps that you can use under a dual-SIM environment.

Oppo, Xiaomi and Honor phones

If you own any one of these phones, you can start by installing WhatsApp on your phone via Google Play. Once you have done it, you can clone the app by going to the phone’s settings. Follow these steps:

Install WhatsApp and then go to Settings.

Tap on Dual Apps. This option is also called App Twin on Honor phone and Clone App on Oppo phone.

You will find a list of apps that can work in this way. Those apps that can be cloned will have toggles on the sides. Turn on the toggles and then clone any app you want to.

How to set up the second WhatsApp account

Setting up the second WhatsApp account is very simple as you set up the first one. Here are the detailed steps to do so.

Start the second WhatsApp.

When you see the next page, tap on ‘Agree and continue’.

Next, you will have to grant file and contact access to the second copy of WhatsApp. Do this by tapping on ‘Continue’. Follow the instructions on the screen.

The crucial part now is to verify your phone number. You must do this carefully and you need to verify the second SIM phone number. By mistake if you type in your primary number, it means you are just shifting the WhatsApp access from the first account to the second account on the same number and nothing more. So, do this step carefully.

After typing your Second SIM number, tap on Next and then confirm the number by tapping on OK.

You will receive a verification code from WhatsApp to check this number. If you had granted permissions already, the app will auto read the verification number. If this does not happen, type in the verification number and it is all done.

Now you will be able to send and receive messages on both of your WhatsApp accounts on your single phone.

WhatsApp also comes as a WhatsApp Business application on the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store. This method also works for iOS users, so follow this method to get dual WhatsApp accounts on iPhone.

  2. Download and install the app from your respective app store.

Method 2: Using Parallel Space App for Dual WhatsApp

Several Android manufacturers include an application in their suite which can emulate a parallel space to run an application. These apps come with multiple names and features, including Parallel Spaces, Dual Apps, App Cloner, and more. 

If none of these features is available for your device, you can alternatively choose applications such as Parallel Space if your smartphone doesn’t come pre-installed with a similar solution.

Download Multi Space – Dual App and Multiple Account

Method 3: Using GB WhatsApp app for 2nd WhatsApp account

The final and the least recommended method for using dual WhatsApp accounts on the same phone is via GB WhatsApp. This app allows you to use an additional installation of WhatsApp on your phone and run multiple accounts or dual WhatsApp accounts parallelly.

GB WhatsApp is an unofficial mod of WhatsApp. It is maintained by private developers. This app comes with no warranty or guarantee. Moreover, it can also result in your WhatsApp account getting banned.

While GB WhatsApp comes with additional features, it also comes with its own set of risks, making it less than ideal for many users. In addition, this application is not available on the Google Play Store for obvious reasons. But, it can be side-loaded onto your phone by downloading the APK from the website. 

Steps to follow
  1. Download the APK of GB WhatsApp form here.
  2. If you have not yet sideloaded any app by downloading it from the Chrome browser then you will have to enable unknown sources.
  3. Once you have enabled unknown sources installation you should be able to proceed with the installation as usual.
  4. Open the GB WhatsApp to start the setup process.
  5. Enter your mobile number which is not yet registered on WhatsApp or the one that you want to set up as your Secondary WhatsApp Account.
  6. Proceed to enter the OTP in the next step for verification.
  7. You can either choose to restore the backup if you have one or skip it.
  8. Enter a Name and then choose a profile picture for your WhatsApp account.
  9. Finish the setup process and begin using your secondary number on the primary phone.

Dual WhatsApp on a Dual SIM Android Smartphone

Using two separate WhatsApp applications on the same dual SIM phone will allow you to separate messages and chats. For example, if one SIM card is work and the second is personal, this will allow you to separate official and personal correspondence into different phone numbers (SIM cards).

Here's how to set up two WhatsApp accounts (two phone numbers) on a dual SIM Android smartphone:

WhatsApp Business 9 app0007 Simultaneous use of WhatsApp Messenger and WhatsApp Business

UPD. A new opportunity without installing a second application Two accounts in one messenger with Dual Messenger

The need for two WhatsApp has been long overdue, but the methods of a full-fledged solution that have appeared during this time have not been given.

Cloning applications such as Parallel Space－Multi Accounts do not work reliably enough, and problems were often encountered when updating the application version. nine0003

Alternative clients also did not solve the problem, and WhatsApp Inc. actively interfered with them.

In the end, the solution came from WhatsApp Inc. itself.

WhatsApp Business app

So WhatsApp Inc. has released, in addition to the WhatsApp Messenger app, a new WhatsApp Business app.

Most importantly, the new application can be installed without any tricks on the phone at the same time as WhatsApp Messenger!

USE WHATSAPP MESSENGER AND WHATSAPP BUSINESS AT THE SAME TIME: You can use WhatsApp Business and WhatsApp Messenger on the same phone, but each app must be associated with a unique phone number. nine0003

WhatsApp Business is compatible with WhatsApp Messenger, meaning you can communicate with users who have WhatsApp Messenger installed.

The company positions this application as more business-friendly by creating a profile of their organization and some other features:

WhatsApp Business allows your company to have a presence on WhatsApp, communicate with customers more effectively, and also help your business grow.

This is how the organization profile setup looks like, where you can set your company logo, address and business hours, email and website, and this information will be visible to other people:

The WhatsApp Business application, created in addition to the regular WhatsApp, as the name implies, is intended for business purposes. What business tools are in the application and how to use them? nine0047

Simultaneous use of WhatsApp Messenger and WhatsApp Business

Thus, it is quite officially possible to install both of these applications on your phone and use them simultaneously by linking WhatsApp Messenger to a personal SIM card, and WhatsApp Business to a work one.

The second account does not have to be a work account, so you can use both applications as personal.

In fact, the smartphone does not have to be dual SIM. You can install both WhatsApp Messenger and WhatsApp Business applications on a single-sim smartphone, but the second application must be registered on a different phone number and somehow organize the receipt of the registration code from the second SIM card, for example, by temporarily installing it on another phone. After registration, the second SIM card is no longer needed, only Internet access is required. nine0003

The same applies to iPhones that have one SIM card.

WhatsApp Business installation and setup details

WhatsApp Business

WhatsApp Inc.

If WhatsApp Messenger associated with a personal phone number was previously installed on the phone, then everything is simple:

  • install the WhatsApp Business application from Play Marker using the link above
  • link the application to your work phone number in the usual way

If you previously installed WhatsApp Messenger associated with your work phone number on your phone, but you want to link WhatsApp Messenger to your personal number, and WhatsApp Business to your work number, you will need to transfer data:

  • back up your WhatsApp Messenger messages
  • install the WhatsApp Business app from the link above
  • link your WhatsApp Business to your business phone number by restoring your backup messages
  • in the WhatsApp Messenger app, change your number to a personal number by restoring messages from a backup if necessary

Two accounts in one messenger with Dual Messenger

Another possibility to use two numbers in WhatsApp is now available on Samsung smartphones.
