WhatsApp is developing a Linked Devices feature which will allow one to use multiple WhatsApp numbers on the same device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Billions<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In brief<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This feature will provide support for multiple WhatsApp accounts on the same phone, be it Android or iOS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of having to install WhatsApp separately on each device, users can access and switch between their various accounts using a single app on their main device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is under <\/a>development so it is not ready to be released to beta testers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Availability<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company has started testing the feature on Android for now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The support is available for WhatsApp Business beta version 2.23.13.5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though the testing is being done on the Business app, WhatsApp is likely to extend the support to the regular WhatsApp Messenger as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Utility<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It should help those who have been wanting to use dual SIMs on one phone but couldn\u2019t because of WhatsApp\u2019s limitations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will help users manage their personal conversations, work-related discussions, and other social interactions within a single app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This separation ensures that users can maintain privacy, efficiently manage notifications, and switch between different accounts without the need of using parallel apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How it works<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The feature works from a menu that will allow users to select which account they want to log into.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When a user sets up an additional account for the first time, it will be stored <\/a>on their device until they decide to log out of the account, so they can always switch to it when they want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

eSIM models<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is uncertain <\/a>whether the multi-account setup will be restricted to phones with physical SIM slots or be compatible with the eSIM models as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If it is the latter, thenWhatsApp can be expected to offer this feature for iOS devices and the premium Android phones with eSIM support.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
