How to Switch Accounts on WhatsApp for iOS and Android: A Step-by-Step Guide
WhatsApp now supports using two accounts on the same device, a feature introduced on Android in 2023 and now rolling out to iOS. Each account requires a separate phone number and keeps its own chats, notifications, privacy settings and backups. Users can switch accounts through Settings on iOS or More Options on Android. Troubleshooting steps include restarting the device, checking connectivity and updating the app. WhatsApp currently allows only two accounts per device, and some features are not yet available for secondary accounts, especially on iOS.
