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.
