WhatsApp already allows you to use two accounts on a single smartphone. This feature is very practical for people who have a personal phone number and a work phone number, for example. Unfortunately, this is currently reserved for users of the Android operating system, on which many models have two slots for physical SIM cards.

But the good news is that WhatsApp could finally offer the same feature to iPhone users. For the moment, no announcement has been made on this subject. However, by digging into a beta version of WhatsApp for iOS, our colleagues at WABetaInfo discovered that the new feature is currently in development. According to the site, it will be possible to create a new account, or add an existing account via a QR code. The media also suggests that the feature is not yet finalized, since WhatsApp should still add the interface that will allow you to manage multiple accounts.

A necessary feature for some iPhone users

Unlike Android smartphone manufacturers, Apple has never been interested in physical dual SIM functionality. However, thanks to eSIM technology, it is possible to have two phone numbers on an iPhone. In Europe, you can have one phone number on a physical SIM card, and a second eSIM number. And in the United States, where Apple has already abandoned the physical SIM card, it is possible to have two eSIM numbers on an iPhone.

The ability to have two accounts on a single device is therefore as necessary on the iPhone as it is on Android devices. And according to WABetaInfo, to manage their second phone number, some iPhone users use the WhatsApp Business app, designed for businesses, even if it is a personal number.
