WhatsApp may soon let you use 2 accounts on 1 phone

Technology Nov 20, 2025

WhatsApp is testing a new feature for iOS that could finally let you switch between personal and work accounts without logging out.
This update is in beta right now, but a wider release is expected soon—so juggling multiple numbers might get way easier.

How it works (and stays secure)

You'll be able to add a second account from the app's settings under Account Lists.
Each account keeps its own chats, notifications, backups, and privacy settings.
Plus, extra security like Face ID or passcode lock will help keep your private stuff safe.
If you ever want to remove an account, it's just a tap away in Settings.
