WhatsApp will let you use two separate accounts on the same Android smartphone - here's what you need to know.
The key security feature of WhatsApp is that you need a phone number to log into the chat app. Your phone number is what authenticates you as a user. That makes account takeovers more complicated than someone guessing your username and password. Also, it makes it impossible to sign up for WhatsApp without a phone number and a smartphone. On the same note, you can't use two or more WhatsApp accounts on your iPhone and Android, as each one of them needs its own SIM card.
It's also the example WhatsApp uses on its blog, as seen below. WhatsApp will support multiple accounts on the same phone. The CEO featured a screenshot similar to the one above. It shows you how you'd switch between a personal and work phone inside WhatsApp when chatting with people. There's no telling whether you can have more than two WhatsApp accounts running on the same phone concurrently. The Meta CEO only mentioned simultaneous access to only two accounts.
