• WhatsApp is adding new features, including multiple profiles per account.
• A screenshot from WABetaInfo reveals the option to use a different profile photo with an alternate profile.
• We’ll provide updates as soon as the feature is available in the public version of WhatsApp.

WhatsApp is consistently expanding its feature set, and according to reports from the WABetaInfo team, another new feature is on the horizon. Meta’s messaging app will soon allow users to generate multiple profiles within a single account.

This feature will enable you to establish distinct profiles for your friends and work associates, even if you have just one account. WhatsApp provides the option to conceal various profile details from your contacts, such as your profile picture, last seen status, and online status. This allows you to customize what information is visible to different groups of people in your contacts.

According to the screenshot posted by WABetaInfo, you’ll have the ability to display a different profile photo to your contacts when using an alternate profile.

As depicted in the image provided, the alternate profile feature will be accessible under the app’s privacy settings. Nevertheless, because this feature is still in the development stage, it is not currently accessible to beta testers. It will initially be introduced for closed beta testing before becoming available on the public beta platform. Subsequently, it should eventually be released in its stable version for everyone to use.

This recent update follows the worldwide launch of account switching in WhatsApp, which offers a practical temporary solution until alternate profiles are fully operational. Account switching permits the use of multiple WhatsApp accounts on a single smartphone, eliminating the need for workarounds such as app cloning or having a secondary device exclusively for accessing another WhatsApp account.
