WhatsApp's latest beta update for iOS gives users the ability to add and switch between multiple accounts on a single device, according to . It arrives more than a year later. With version 25.2.10.70 for iOS, users have the option to add a second account to the app. WABetaInfo reports: You can set it up as a separate main account or “scan a QR code to link the new account as a complementary one.” The update is now available to beta testers through Apple's TestFlight program.
On Android, running two accounts simultaneously on WhatsApp requires a dual SIM situation as each account must have its own phone number. WhatsApp offers another app, WhatsApp Business, where users can set up a second account using a different phone number, but that still means jumping between two apps. The Android update and what is currently being tested for iOS allow users with two phone numbers to keep all their conversations in one app.
