According to Ukrinform, this situation was reported on the WhatsApp blog.

“Today, we are introducing the ability to log in to two WhatsApp accounts at the same time. You no longer need to log out every time, carry two phones, or worry about sending messages from the wrong account. The statement stated that the new feature will be useful for switching between work and personal accounts.

To create a second account, you’ll need a second phone number and SIM card, or a phone that accepts multiple SIM cards or eSIM cards. The company explained that for this, you need to open WhatsApp settings, click on the arrow next to your name, and then click on “Add account.”

Users can also manage privacy and notification settings on an account-by-account basis.

The company reminded users to only use the official version of the WhatsApp app as a way to access more accounts on their phones and not to download fake or fake versions. “Your messages remain safe and private only when you use the official version of the WhatsApp app,” the company added.

As reported by Ukrinform, Meta’s WhatsApp messaging app has changed its mind to launch its information channels service in Russia following threats from Russian regulators and politicians to block it.
