- WhatsApp now lets you use two distinct accounts on a single Android smartphone.
- To set up a second WhatsApp account, you need a second phone number and SIM card or a phone with multi-SIM or eSIM support.
- You can manage privacy and notification settings for each account independently.
WhatsApp has introduced the ability to use two distinct accounts on a single Android smartphone, although it has long allowed the use of the same account on multiple devices. This feature, previously available to WhatsApp’s beta users, is now being released to the stable channel. It’s worth noting that Telegram has offered a similar feature for years.
The option to run two separate WhatsApp accounts simultaneously on one smartphone will eliminate the necessity for users to carry two phones or utilize the app clone function.
To establish the second WhatsApp account, you will require a second phone number and SIM card, or a phone that supports multiple SIMs or eSIMs. Nevertheless, if your second SIM card is on a different device, you should still be able to create a second WhatsApp account as long as you can receive the security code for logging in.
Once you’ve got that organized, you can access your WhatsApp settings, tap the arrow next to your name, select “Add account,” and then proceed by following the provided instructions.

We have the most up-to-date version of WhatsApp on our Android devices, but we don’t have the option to create a second account. This implies that it may take another week or two before this feature is available to all Android users around the world.
