WhatsApp Rolls Out Multi-Account Support for iOS and Android Users

According to a recent report by WABetaInfo, WhatsApp is set to roll out a brand-new multi-account feature. Initially available to Android beta testers, this functionality has now been introduced to iOS with the release of version 25.2.10.70. The update allows users to sign into multiple accounts within a single app, eliminating the need for additional devices or parallel apps. Screenshots from the beta version show a new option in the app settings, enabling users to easily add and manage multiple accounts. This feature is particularly beneficial for those with multiple phone numbers, especially on dual SIM devices. It also provides a convenient solution for individuals who juggle both WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business to manage different accounts.

WhatsApp's new multi-account feature provides users with two ways to add accounts: creating a brand-new primary account or linking an existing one using a QR code. This flexibility accommodates different user needs, whether they want to start from scratch or integrate an already active account into the app. Each added account functions independently, maintaining separate notifications, chat histories, backups, and settings. However, based on the shared screenshot, switching between accounts may require restarting the app.

Like many features in WhatsApp's beta versions, the multi-account functionality is still in development, and there is no confirmed release date for either iOS or Android. However, a potential rollout could take place in the coming weeks or months.
