The great thing about WhatsApp is that over the past couple of months, the platform has been steadily adding new features to the mix to improve the overall experience. Every now and then, we see features that are there to help users be more intuitive, and recently, the platform has added the ability to add profiles to your WhatsApp account.
The benefit of adding profiles to your WhatsApp account is that you can use a single app but have multiple accounts linked to multiple phone numbers on the same device. This feature was previously in testing but has now started to roll out on a stable channel, so you should soon have access to it. If you don't, just update your app or wait for it to be enabled in your region.
Add profiles to your WhatsApp account and handle multiple accounts on a single device
Now, the process of adding profiles to your WhatsApp account is perhaps one of the simplest. But still, for your convenience, I am going to write things down. Again, I've tested this method on my OnePlus 10 Pro running OxygenOS 13.1, I cannot confirm if iOS has already received the feature or is still in the works. With that said, let's look at how this feature works.
Step 1:On your Android device, open WhatsApp and tap the three-dot button on the top right.
Step 2:Now tap onSettingsand click the little arrow on the right corner.
Step 3:You will see a new window at the bottom that will give you an option to add an account, simply tap that.
Step 4:Once you have selected that option, you will be brought to a new window where you will have to repeat the entire process in which you enter your phone number.
From here, all you have to do is agree and continue and get done with the rest of the process to be good to go. You have just learned how to add multiple accounts to WhatsApp. If you are looking forward to making sure that all your chats are in a single place, this is the best way to do it instead of keeping multiple devices with you at all times.
