How to use two WhatsApp accounts on iPhone

WhatsApp is easily the most popular instant messaging app in India. Compatibility on most devices and ease of access makes it a go-to app for chatting. Sometimes, it becomes necessary to have more than one WhatsApp account, especially now that all smartphones support dual SIM cards. On most Android phones, you can clone WhatsApp and run two accounts simultaneously, but what about iPhone? Apple does not let you clone apps or side-install any third-party app to bypass such restrictions, so ideally, you cannot use two instances of WhatsApp, but there is a way.

WhatsApp itself has made it possible to use up to two accounts on a single iPhone. In this story, we will show you how you can use two WhatsApp accounts on one iPhone for free, that too officially.

How to use two WhatsApp accounts on one iPhone

The only way to use two WhatsApp accounts on a single iPhone is by using WhatsApp Business. This way you can finally make use of the second SIM on your iPhone for WhatsApp. Since WhatsApp Business exists as a separate app on iOS, you can download and use it alongside the main WhatsApp app. Here is how to begin using two WhatsApp accounts on your iPhone:

Step 1: Open App Store on your iPhone and search for WhatsApp Business.

Step 2: Download the application and open it.

Step 3: Simply log in as you’d on the regular WhatsApp app, but do remember to use your second number.

Once you do the setup, you can use WhatsApp Business for your second contact number and the regular WhatsApp app for your primary contact number. This way, it will be easy for you to sort out messages. And if you own a business or want to keep two WhatsApp accounts, one personal and the other one for professional use, you can do that easily on a single iPhone.
