WhatsApp has finally begun testing its long-awaited multi-account support feature for iOS users. This new feature is very useful for those who want to use two WhatsApp numbers on the same device. Now, users can switch between their accounts directly from Settings without logging out or restarting the app.

In the latest beta version of iOS 25.34.10.72, testers are seeing a new Account List section. This is where users can add their second WhatsApp account.

Surprisingly, users no longer need a second phone or the WhatsApp Business app to operate two numbers. WhatsApp currently allows adding two accounts on a single device.

How to add a new account?

WhatsApp offers three ways to add another account:
Create a new account
Add an existing account (whether it's on another phone or WhatsApp Business)
Link a companion account by scanning a QR code
Once you add a new or existing account, chats and settings are automatically synced. This makes multi-number management much easier than before.

Chats and backups for each account will remain completely separate
WhatsApp has also ensured that each account functions completely independently.
Chat history
Backups
Notification tones
Privacy options (such as Last Seen, profile photo visibility)
Media auto-download settings
Everything will remain separate. Even muted chats will not affect the other account.

Multi-account notifications will be clearer.
WhatsApp has also improved notifications. Even if an account is not active, you will receive alerts for incoming messages. The new notification will clearly indicate which account the message was sent to, allowing users to quickly identify which profile to check.
This new feature is extremely useful for users who want to keep their work and personal numbers separate. It is expected that this feature will soon be rolled out to all iOS users.
