If you have a dual-SIM phone, you can use the different SIM cards to make calls using separate numbers, and send texts using different numbers.
You can as well set up dual WhatsApp accounts, and use them both on the same phone.
If you have ever wondered how to install two WhatsApp accounts on one phone, then you have come to the right place.
There are a few different ways to do this, and some phone-makers are offering this as a built in feature.
In other cases, you will have to resort to third-party apps instead, but it is actually pretty easy to run two WhatsApp accounts on one Android phone.
Sorry iPhone users, you are out of luck without resorting to the kind of methods we would not recommend.
Obviously, this method of running two WhatsApp accounts on one phone requires a dual-SIM phone – WhatsApp uses the phone number as your identity, and detects this via an SMS or call, so it has to be a phone with two SIM cards.
If you have a dual-SIM phone, then the next step should be to check your settings, because it is quite possible that the manufacturer has already created settings or dual WhatsApp.
If you use a Honor phone, you already a feature called App Twin for that. On Xiaomi phones it is called Dual Apps. Vivo calls it App Clone, while Oppo calls it Clone App.
The way each of these companies has set it up varies a little, so you will want to check specific information for your handset to have it work.
However, if your phone does not support the features mentioned above, then there are a few popular methods that we found online you can adapt to get the same effect.
The one we thought was best is an app called Parallel Space.
As the name suggests, this app creates a parallel “space” where you can install apps, which allows you to clone different apps.
Here are the steps to using this app:
- You have to first install Parallel Space from Google Play. Once you start the app, it will immediately take you to a Clone Apps page.
- Select all apps you want to clone, and tap the Add to Parallel Space button.
- Next, you’ll be taken to the parallel space, where the app is run in a virtual install on your phone.
- Now, continue to set up WhatsApp as usual.
That is it!
You can use WhatsApp and other apps by accessing them through the Parallel Space app.
