How to use two WhatsApp accounts on your iPhone?
Here is the list of 2 methods to use two WhatsApp accounts on your iPhone:
Method #1. Use Messenger Duo for WhatsApp on iPhone
- On your iPhone, install the Messenger Duo for WhatsApp app.
- Open the programme when it has been successfully installed. It will display a QR code, much like WhatsApp Web.
- Get your other device -> open WhatsApp -> go to Settings.
- After that, select Link a Device and scan the code to connect your iPhone. Voila!
Method #2. Use WhatsApp Business to set up a second account
- On your iPhone, install WhatsApp Business. Meanwhile, make sure your secondary SIM is set up as an eSIM on your iPhone or in another smartphone. It’s critical since the OTP for logging into WhatsApp Business will be sent to that phone.
- After the installation is complete, launch WhatsApp Business and select Agree & Continue.
- Because you already have a WhatsApp account, you will be asked if you wish to use the same phone number for WhatsApp Business. To establish a second WhatsApp account, select Use a different phone number.
- To validate your registration, enter the OTP you received on another number.
- In the top-right corner, tap Done.
- If you previously used WhatsApp on that phone number, select Restore Chat History from iCloud Backup and then hit Next. If not, choose Skip.
- Then enter your name and upload a profile picture.
- There is an option to set your Business category below that. Tap Done after selecting Not a business.
- Follow the on-screen instructions, then select Next.
- If a popup appears, tap Continue (the name does not adhere to the rules).
- Finally, select Not Now.
