WhatsApp is gearing up to introduce a groundbreaking feature that will allow iPhone users to manage multiple phone numbers within a single app. This functionality will mirror Instagram's multi-account system, enabling seamless switching between different accounts.
WhatsApp is reportedly on the verge of introducing a significant enhancement to its multi-account capabilities, allowing users to manage multiple phone numbers within a single iPhone app. This feature would mirror the functionality of Instagram, enabling seamless switching between different accounts without the need to log in and out. Currently, iPhone users can link their phone number to various devices, such as WhatsApp for Mac, another iPhone, or the web desktop version.
However, this feature only allows for a single phone number to be associated with the app. According to WABetaInfo, a well-known source for WhatsApp beta information, the messaging app has begun exploring this multi-account feature in the latest WhatsApp beta for iOS, version 25.2.10.70. While not yet accessible to testers, the discovery suggests that this feature is finally in development months after its initial unveiling.Once implemented, this multi-account functionality will prove immensely beneficial for individuals who utilize dual SIM devices or desire to separate their professional and personal communications on the same device. A screenshot shared by WABetaInfo reveals a new screen within the app where users can add an alternative phone number to their existing account. Upon availability, WhatsApp will prompt users to 'Confirm User Switching.' Initially, switching between users may necessitate a manual restart of the app to display the new chats. WABetaInfo speculates that WhatsApp might have initiated this multi-account upgrade due to a growing trend of users relying on WhatsApp Business to manage a second phone number, even for non-commercial purposes. This serves as a practical solution for those needing separate accounts without switching to a different device.At present, the maximum number of accounts iPhone users will be able to add remains unclear, as does the timeframe for WhatsApp's complete development and public release of this feature. Given the app's previous implementation of multi-account support, which took months to roll out to users, it is anticipated that this feature may also undergo a similar development cycle. Recent WhatsApp updates have focused heavily on incorporating AI-powered features, including the Meta AI chatbot and audio transcription functionality. BGR will continue to monitor the progress of this upcoming function and provide updates as they become available
