Today, WhatsApp finally allows you to activate a second account on the application from your smartphone. Announced several months ago, the functionality is now available on Android and iOS. Please note, however, that certain conditions must be respected. We will explain how to configure your second account.
We can say that this functionality is long overdue. While its competitors have been offering it for a long time, WhatsApp has taken its time to include multi-account support on its application. For a long time, you had to have a second smartphone to connect to a different account or, for the most motivated, get a specific Android overlay allowing you to install a second version of the application on your phone.
But all these setbacks are now a thing of the past. In June, WhatsApp already rolled out multi-account support for Business users. Today, the messaging company announces via a blog post the global deployment of the functionality on Android and iOS. Once you receive the update – which, as usual, can take several hours – you will finally be able to set up a second account from your smartphone.

How to add a second WhatsApp account on a single smartphone
However, several clarifications must be made. First, if WhatsApp does talk regarding multi-accounts in its blog post, for the moment we will have to make do with a single additional account on the same smartphone. This limitation is certainly due to the second important point: since you absolutely need a telephone number to create a WhatsApp account, you will necessarily have to have a smartphone that supports dual SIM.
If this is your case, here is the procedure to follow to create a second email account:
Open WhatsApp on your smartphone Tap the three-dot menu at the top right of the screen Go to the Settings
Tap the arrow to the right of your name Select Add an account
Follow the instructions on the screen
You now have a second WhatsApp account on your smartphone, which will be very practical if you have a professional telephone number, for example.
