WhatsApp for iPhone May Soon Support Multiple Accounts on One Device
WhatsApp’s Multi-Account Feature is Coming to iPhone Users
If you’re an iPhone user, you’ve likely wished for the ability to manage multiple WhatsApp accounts on a single device. The good news? WhatsApp is finally introducing this long-awaited feature! According to a recent update released via Apple’s TestFlight beta program, iPhone users will soon be able to add multiple accounts within the main WhatsApp app—without needing workarounds.
While Android users have enjoyed this feature since 2023, iPhone users can now rejoice that it’s finally on its way.
How the Multi-Account Feature Works
Adding multiple WhatsApp accounts to your iPhone will be a straightforward process. However, you’ll need either:
- A second phone number
- A phone that supports dual SIM or eSIM
Two Ways to Set Up Multiple Accounts:
- Primary Account Setup: You can add a secondary account directly through WhatsApp’s settings.
- QR Code Linking: If you already have another WhatsApp account on a different device, you can scan a QR code to link it as a companion account.
Once set up, WhatsApp will keep each account’s messages, notifications, settings, and backups completely separate—ensuring that your personal and work communications stay organized.
Why This Feature Matters
For years, iPhone users have relied on WhatsApp Business as a workaround to manage a second account. With this update, you’ll no longer need to switch between apps—everything can be handled within the main WhatsApp app.
Here are some key benefits of the new feature:
- Work-Life Balance: Keep personal and work conversations separate within one app.
- Multiple Business Management: Business owners can efficiently manage customer interactions for different brands.
- Social Circle Organization: Users can maintain different profiles for various groups, such as family, friends, or hobby-based communities.
When Will It Be Available?
While there’s no official release date yet, WhatsApp’s history suggests that features tested through TestFlight often roll out within weeks or months. Keep an eye on future updates to see when this feature becomes available for all iPhone users.
