WhatsApp allows users to use multiple accounts on a single device through a feature called “WhatsApp Business” and “WhatsApp Web.” Here are the steps to add multiple WhatsApp accounts:
Method 1: Using WhatsApp Business for Second Account (Mobile Only)
WhatsApp Business is a separate app from the standard WhatsApp that allows you to set up and manage a second WhatsApp account on your phone. This method is typically used for business-related accounts but can also be used for personal purposes.
Install WhatsApp Business:
- Go to your device store (Google PlayStore for Android or Apple AppStore for iOS).
- Search for “WhatsApp Business” and install the app.
Set Up the Second Account:
- Open WhatsApp Business.
- Click the Agree button to the terms and conditions and verify your phone number.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to set up your second WhatsApp Business account, including adding a profile picture and business details if needed.
Use Both WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business:
- You can now use both the standard WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business on the same device with separate phone numbers.
Method 2: Using WhatsApp Web for Second Account (Desktop and Mobile)
WhatsApp Web allows you to access your WhatsApp account on a web browser, which can be useful for managing a second account alongside your primary account.
Open WhatsApp Web:
- Open to web browser on your laptop or computer.
- Go to the WhatsApp Web page: https://web.whatsapp.com/
Scan the QR Code:
- Open the WhatsApp, click the app on your mobile device.
- Tap on the three dots in the top right corner (Android) or settings (iOS).
- Select “WhatsApp Web” or “Linked Devices.”
- Use your phone to scan the QR code displayed on the WhatsApp Web page on your computer.
Use WhatsApp on Your Computer:
- You can now use WhatsApp on your computer while keeping your mobile phone connected to the internet.
Conclusion
Using second method (WhatsApp Web) requires you to keep your primary WhatsApp account active on your mobile device as it mirrors the conversations from your phone to the web.
