WhatsApp on iPhone Could Soon Have a Nifty Feature Which Android Has Had for Years
Beta testers can now use up to two WhatsApp accounts on one iPhone, each with separate chat history, backup, and notification settings, improving multi-number management.
- WABetaInfo spotted a TestFlight beta showing WhatsApp will add native multi-account support and is preparing to support usernames, with an 'Account List' now visible in iPhone app settings.
- To simplify account management, WhatsApp lets users add accounts directly from the app without needing a secondary device or WhatsApp Business, managing multiple numbers efficiently under one interface.
- Each account will keep separate preferences, with companion accounts linked by scanning a QR code to sync messages and settings automatically with the primary device.
- Availability is limited to the TestFlight rollout and the app currently supports up to two accounts, with some beta testers seeing the add-and-switch option but no launch timeline.
- Notifications will label the account sending a message by showing which of the two accounts a message came from, while QR code linking and automatic sync streamline switching and keep data separate.
