One the feature that has become almost common in all smartphones is the dual SIM ability. With dual SIM, users can activate WhatsApp accounts linked to both numbers on their phone, but switching between the accounts is a tedious task. In the years, WhatsApp isn’t just a platform to stay connected with friends, but used for professional communication. How about two WhatsApp accounts working simultaneously? Yes, two instances of an app on the same device. Here's how you can get it.
Creating two accounts of WhatsApp
Considering how important this feature is, many phone makers have this feature built into their devices. Xiaomi has the Dual apps feature that will let you use two instances of the WhatsApp. You just need to go to Settings and click on Dual apps and choose the app whose clone you need. This way, you can have two Whatsapp accounts - personal and private.
It isn't just Xiaomi. Other phone makers also have this ability built-in. For instance Vivo has the App Clone mode that will let you use two instances of the same app.
If you don't have a phone that comes with this ability built-in, then there are third party apps that will come to your rescue.
Parallel Space
This is among the most recommended app for using multiple accounts of your social media. Parallel space literally creates another space wherein you can keep and use the cloned app that helps differentiate your personal and professional lives. However, you will need a premium version for cloning WhatsApp. You can download the app here.
App Cloner
This another third-party app that lets you use two instances of an app. The app will let you create multiple copies of the app that will run parallel and work independently. You can tweak the new app copy by naming it and giving it a new icon.
The free version will allow basic cloning, but just like Parallel space, you will need a premium version to clone WhatsApp, messenger and gmail, replacing launcher icons and saving/sharing cloned apps. You can download the app here.
