Two accounts will run on one device; WhatsApp is rolling out a special feature for these users. Learn how it works.

A new feature will soon be available on WhatsApp for iPhone users, allowing them to use two accounts on a single device. This feature is currently being tested.

Good news for WhatsApp users. They will now be able to run two accounts on a single device without any third-party apps. According to recent reports, WhatsApp is rolling out a new TestFlight beta for iOS users. With this feature, users will be able to use two accounts on a single device. This feature has been a long-standing demand. Let's explore how this feature will work.

An Account List Section Will Come to Settings

According to WABetaInfo, many beta testers have found a new Account List section in the app's settings. Users can add a new account by going to this section. During beta testing, users are given the option to add two accounts, but the setup is flexible. This means users will be able to create an account with a new number and link it to a WhatsApp Business account running on another device. They can also scan a QR code to connect them to the companion account. After setup is complete, the chats and settings of the secondary accounts will automatically sync to the primary device.

Both accounts will function completely separately

It's also worth noting that despite running on the same device, both accounts will function completely independently. This means that both accounts will have separate chat backups, notification preferences, and other settings to prevent interference. Notifications will also be labeled, allowing users to easily identify which account they are associated with.

When will this feature arrive?

WhatsApp is currently testing this feature, and no timeline has been revealed for its rollout to all users. Usually, after testing is completed, the company makes necessary changes to a feature and then it is rolled out to the users in a phased manner.
