As WhatsApp gradually introduces multi-device support for iPhone and Android users, reports suggest they have also been developing a feature that allows multiple accounts on one device.
WABetaInfo has uncovered this feature, which appears to be in development, beginning with Android beta version 2.23.13.5. Currently, the feature primarily targets WhatsApp Business users, but evidence suggests that WhatsApp Messenger will also receive this functionality in a future update.
The screenshot reveals the presence of multiple accounts on a single device, offering the option to add additional accounts. According to WABetaInfo, “once you set up an extra account, it remains stored on your device until you choose to log out, enabling convenient switching whenever desired.”
This functionality will prove highly beneficial for individuals who require separate management of personal conversations, work-related chats, and other tasks across different accounts. It eliminates the need for a second phone solely for work-related messaging, allowing smooth switching between accounts to prevent interruptions between phone numbers.
While WABetaInfo mentions that this feature is still in the development phase, specific details remain unknown, such as the maximum number of phone numbers that can be added, the behavior of the inactive accounts, and the expected release date for iOS and Android users.
Without a doubt, this feature will greatly assist numerous WhatsApp users who rely on the messaging app for various daily tasks, be it work-related matters, personal communication, or any other activities.
Once this functionality is accessible, BGR will promptly provide comprehensive coverage of all the details as soon as they become available.
