Here are some key points to remember when using the Dual WhatsApp Account feature:

• You’ll need a second phone number, which can be either a physical SIM card or an e-SIM number.
• Ensure that your phone supports multi-SIM or e-SIM functionality. If not, you’ll have to use a secondary device to set up the second account.
• The alternate number is necessary to receive a one-time passcode, typically sent via SMS for account access.

Here’s a step-by-step guide on setting up and using multiple WhatsApp accounts on a single device:

1. The latest update should be your WhatsApp app to the latest version.

3. In the Settings menu, you’ll notice a small arrow next to your name.
4. Tap the arrow and select “Add account.”
5. Enter your second phone number and verify it using the code sent to you via SMS or a call.
6. Once the number is verified and the setup is complete, you can easily switch between accounts by tapping the arrow next to your name.
7. Tap the arrow, and select the account you wish to use.
