Users who have two WhatsApp accounts will soon be able to switch between both accounts using the same phone.
In a Facebook post, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced this new feature that will allow two WhatsApp accounts to be used simultaneously on the same phone. Zuckerberg wrote, "Switch between two accounts on WhatsApp - soon the app will be able to use two WhatsApp accounts from one phone."
For so long, those who had multiple WhatsApp accounts for work needs may have had to use WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business apps, or had to use multiple mobiles. In the future, not by using multiple apps or mobiles, but by using the same WhatsApp app, the benefit of using two accounts will be available.
