Using Third-Party Apps for Dual WhatsApp Accounts

While many Android devices support app cloning, there are rare cases where this feature may not be available. In such instances, third-party apps can be a lifesaver. Here are two popular third-party apps that you can use to set up two WhatsApp accounts:

2Accounts – Dual App Space

Download this app from the Google Play Store and follow these steps to create a second WhatsApp account:

After installation, open 2Accounts – Dual App Space. Tap on Create New Account. Select WhatsApp. Enter the phone number and follow the registration steps.

Clone App – Parallel Space

This app is available on both Android and iOS devices and can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play Store. Here's how to set it up:

Download and install Clone App – Parallel Space. Open the app and tap Add a new account. Choose WhatsApp and follow the instructions.

Managing Dual WhatsApp Accounts on iPhone

For iPhone users, the process can be a bit different, as Apple does not support the cloning feature natively. However, if you have a dual SIM iPhone, you might be able to run two WhatsApp instances, although this is highly dependent on the phone model and the version of iOS.

If you are an Android user, you will have the dual apps option. These days, just create a dual app and register another number. Some phones have specific settings options for dual apps, but if you don't, you can download an app from the Play Store or App Store to set up a second WhatsApp account.

It is worth noting that you can't have two WhatsApp accounts on one mobile phone without two SIM cards or using a third-party app. If you require two WhatsApp accounts, consider acquiring a second SIM card if your phone supports it.
