Most phones these days in India come with dual SIM slots, allowing users to have one number dedicated to work and the other for their personal life. While WhatsApp does not officially support two accounts on a single device, people still manage to set two up.
Chinese phone manufacturers like Oppo, Xiaomi, Realme, Vivo, and OnePlus have built-in app cloners that let you install two instances of WhatsApp and run them together, each with a unique account. Samsung allows it too with its Dual Messenger feature. If your phone runs stock Android and does not support cloning, then there are even third-party apps that help you do that.
If you are confused about how you can run two WhatsApp accounts on the same device, then we’ve got you covered in this article. Scroll to your device manufacturer and follow the instructions therein.
1. Navigate to Settings > Advanced features > Dual Messenger
2. Enable Dual Messenger
3. Toggle the switch for WhatsApp to use a separate account
4. Tap Install and then Confirm
