WhatsApp is reportedly testing its multi-account feature, previously rolled out on Android beta, to iOS users in an upcoming update.

This addition simplifies account management, allowing users to log into multiple accounts within a single app.

Why it matters

  • Convenience: The feature eliminates the need for multiple devices or parallel apps to manage personal and professional WhatsApp accounts.
  • Flexibility: Users can manage multiple accounts directly from the app settings, offering a streamlined experience for those juggling different phone numbers.

How it works

  • Users can either:
    • Start fresh with a primary account.
    • Link an existing account via a QR code.
  • Each account operates independently, maintaining separate chats, notifications, backups, and settings.
  • Ideal for dual SIM users, it enables managing both numbers without relying on WhatsApp Business or additional devices.

What’s next

This multi-account feature is still under development for iOS, with its release planned in a future update. Stay tuned for more updates as WhatsApp works toward consistent functionality across platforms.
