How to have two WhatsApp accounts on Android

You own a smartphone Android for some time and is also equipped with dual SIM support, so you can use both of your SIMs inside this device without any particular problems. The only serious problem you are experiencing is the inability to use both phone numbers on WhatsApp since the app in question allows you to manage only one number at a time.

I know what you’re weighing in right now: how to have two WhatsApp accounts on Android? A more than legitimate question and luckily for you, there are some practical methods you can use, especially thanks to the enormous versatility of the Android operating system.

The first solution that I recommend you try to use is through the app WhatsApp Business, which is the version of the app intended for companies and professionals to facilitate communication with their customers. Although, as mentioned, it is intended in particular for companies and professionals, it can be used by anyone, and for this reason, it can be used trivially by anyone to manage a second WhatsApp number simultaneously with the main app on the same smartphone.

To be able to use WhatsApp Business, all you have to do is download it from Play Store or from alternative stores for devices that do not have Google services: to install it, search for it in the market of your device, press on its icon (or go directly to one of the download links I gave you earlier, to do first) and click on the button Install.

Once installed, all you have to do is open it and proceed with the normal one WhatsApp configuration, only in this case you will have to use the second number, which is the one you have not yet configured on the standard WhatsApp app. Once configured, you can use the app to send and receive messages, exactly as you would normally do with WhatsApp (everything is explained here). Convenient, right?

What do you say? Would you like to use the WhatsApp app and not the Business version? In this case, you could take advantage of the option of WhatsApp app cloning, taking advantage of the functions built into most Android devices, such as on Samsung, Xiaomi, or HUAWEI: for more information about it, I suggest you take a look at mine tutorial on the subject.

How to have two WhatsApp accounts on iPhone

You have switched to a recent model of iPhone and you are enjoying the convenience of being able to use two SIMs at the same time thanks to the integration of the support e-SIM. Soon, however, you ran into a rather difficult problem to solve, namely the inability to use WhatsApp with both telephone numbers you use on your device.

For this reason, you are wondering how to have two WhatsApp accounts on iPhone. No problem. Again you can take advantage of the app WhatsApp Business to have an official “replica” of the well-known messaging app to use with another number, exactly as I explained to you in the chapter dedicated to Android.

Just download the application from the App Store look for it and press on its icon (or by connecting directly to one of the download links I gave you a moment ago, to do first), and press the button Get. You may be required to verify your identity via Face ID, Touch ID, or Apple ID password.

Alternatively, if you do not want to take advantage of the WhatsApp Business app because you prefer not to install a special app for your second number, perhaps because you would use it very little, I can recommend the use of WhatsApp Web taking advantage of the function multi-device from a web browser.

Perhaps this is not the most comfortable solution to use, but it is the only alternative solution that you can use if WhatsApp Business is not to your liking: unfortunately, however, in this case, you will necessarily have a secondary device for the first account configuration. of WhatsApp. For more information on how this solution works, you can take a look at my tutorial on the subject, where I explain in detail all the steps to follow.
