WhatsApp could soon let iOS users have multiple accounts on one device

WhatsApp iOS beta now supports multiple accounts like in Android since 2023.

: The latest beta update for WhatsApp on iOS introduces a feature allowing users to manage multiple accounts on a single device. This functionality, already available to Android users since 2023, requires version 25.2.10.70 for iOS. Users can add a second account as either a standalone primary or by linking with a QR code. Beta testers can access the update through Apple's TestFlight program.

WhatsApp's beta update for iOS aims to bring a long-awaited feature to its users, allowing them to manage multiple accounts from a single device. This capability has been available on Android devices since 2023 but has only now reached iOS via version 25.2.10.70.

Users can integrate a second account by either establishing it as a standalone primary account or by linking it to an existing one using a QR code. The update, detailed by WABetaInfo, is intended for those enrolled in Apple's TestFlight program, granting them early access to this evolving feature.

On Android, operating two accounts requires a dual-SIM setup since each account needs a separate phone number. With the new feature, iOS users who have two phone numbers can consolidate conversations within one application, similar to the existing capability on Android, helping to streamline communication.
