You can usually only use WhatsApp on one smartphone at a time. Only with a trick, can you get it on multiple devices. In this article, we’ll solve the problem.
Two WhatsApp accounts on one mobile
With a simple trick, you can use WhatsApp on a smartphone with two numbers at the same time. It doesn’t matter if the second number comes from a SIM card in your dual SIM smartphone, a landline number or a mobile number in another mobile phone.
Option A: App Twin
Some smartphone manufacturers allow two instances of WhatsApp to be installed in parallel. For Huawei or Honor smartphones, you will find the entry App-Twin in the app settings. Samsung calls this option ‘Dual Messenger’.
Option B: WhatsApp Business
Supposedly intended for business customers only, you can easily download WhatsApp Business from the Play Store and use it in parallel with WhatsApp on the same smartphone. The installation is exactly the same, except it asks for the name of your ‘company’ instead of yours. So you have WhatsApp twice with different numbers on the same device. Mission accomplished!
What are the alternatives?
Fast switching between two devices is difficult with WhatsApp Web. The range of functions is also limited. It is, therefore, more elegant to switch to a WhatsApp alternative immediately. Facebook Messenger, Telegram, or Wire are possible here. These services are free and can be activated on multiple devices without restrictions. You will not miss WhatsApp.
Conclusion
There is no way to use a WhatsApp account fully on two or more devices at the same time because WhatsApp Web does not offer some features. Only messengers like Telegram or Wire can do this. Fortunately, the reverse problem of running two instances of WhatsApp on one smartphone is much easier to solve.
