The last beta update of WhatsApp for iOS gives users the possibility of adding and switching between several accounts to a single device, according to . It happens a year later. With version 25.2.10.70 for iOS, users have the choice when adding a second account to the application, Wabetainfo Reports: they can configure it as a main autonomous account or “scan a QR code to link the new account as a companion”. The update is available now for beta-testers via the Apple Testflight program.
On Android, managing two accounts simultaneously on WhatsApp requires a situation of double sim, because each account must have its own telephone number. WhatsApp offers another application, WhatsApp Business, on which users can create a second account using a different phone number, but that always means going from one application to another. The Android update and what is currently tested for iOS allow users with two telephone numbers to keep all their conversations in a single application.
