How to have two WhatsApp accounts

Almost every job now requires the use of a smartphone, for a discussion with colleagues, for checks with customers or simply for organizing work with your boss.

With the advent of WhatsApp and other messaging services, surely in the office you have created a group in which to exchange various business communications or memes of the moment, making fun of them during long working days.

However, it is essential to have a number to turn off on the weekend, when you want to spend time with your family and not to risk spending all your time working. To increase your productivity and avoid carrying two different smartphones with you, you can use two different WhatsApp accounts on the same device.

How to have two WhatsApp accounts on Android

Most Android smartphones have been equipped for some time with the possibility of inserting double cards. If you have a Dual Sim, separating private life from work is certainly easier. The only real problem is dividing WhatsApp from both numbers, since, unlike Telegram, the most used messaging social network allows you to manage only one number at a time.

If you want to have two accounts on the same mobile, there is a solution.

Using WhatsApp Business

The first thing you can do is use the WhatsApp Business app, which is the version designed for companies and to facilitate communication between professionals and their customers. The app, designed specifically for business, can actually be used by anyone and for this reason it allows you to manage a second WhatsApp number.

Cloned apps

If you are not satisfied with the previous solution, don't worry, we have an alternative. Most Android devices, such as Samsung, Xiaomi or HUAWEI have the "clone" function. This means that by clicking first on the green icon on Home and then on "clone app", you can have a double version of WhatsApp. At that point, just enter the newly cloned application and enter your alternative number.

As for Android, a very simple way to solve the problem would be to use WhatsApp Business. The version of the app, designed for professionals and companies, could be a convenient solution to talk to your customers or colleagues. Once you have downloaded WhatsApp Business, all you have to do is enter your phone number, just like for WhatsApp.

If the first option doesn't suit you and you don't want a Business version of your second account or you just don't want to download another app and burden your memory, there is an alternative. If you prefer not to install a special app for your second number, perhaps because you would use it very little, you can use WhatsApp Web using the multi-device function from a web browser.

Perhaps the solution is not very convenient to use but at the moment it is the only way to take advantage of the app on both of your phone numbers.
