WhatsApp, the super popular chat app, is stepping up its game with fresh features. Last year, it made waves by letting you switch your data between Android and iOS devices. It also gave us the power to use one account on different gadgets. And now, brace yourself for the next cool thing: you can have two accounts on one phone!
Mark Zuckerberg, the big boss at Meta (the company behind WhatsApp), dropped the news. Android users will get the chance to enjoy this feature. It’s been in the testing phase since August 2023, and it’s about to hit everyone’s phones. This is a game-changer for folks who keep work and personal stuff separate with two different phone numbers.
With this update, you won’t have to fuss with Samsung’s Dual Messenger feature. It’s a tool that lets you have two separate accounts on the same app. But if you’re extra busy and need more WhatsApp accounts, you can still use Dual Messenger to have up to four accounts on a single phone.
Now, here’s the catch: there’s no word on when iPhone users will get this treat. Meta tends to roll out its new stuff on Android first and then share the love with iOS. Like, there’s a WhatsApp app for Wear OS smartwatches but not for Apple Watches. Plus, they’re cooking up something special with Meta AI and Generative AI stickers for WhatsApp. Exciting times ahead!
