WhatsApp has reportedly started rolling out the multi-account feature for select Android beta users, which will allow users to integrate multiple accounts within the same application. To cater to the diverse communication needs of the users, the company will add this feature to the platform soon, says the report.

According to WABetaInfo, users in the beta testing phase can now add additional accounts to their WhatsApp application. The process involves clicking on an arrow icon next to the QR code button. Users can easily move between their numerous accounts from the same menu after adding a new account, easing the process of maintaining private chats, work-related talks, and other dialogues all inside a single app.

The ability to switch between accounts without the use of different devices or other applications is one of the prominent features of this multi-account function. Users can simply shift between accounts without having to bear the burden of repeatedly signing in and out or going via different platforms provided individual chats and alerts are kept separate.

When Will WhatsApp Multi-Account Feature Roll Out?

The new multi-account feature is first available to a small number of beta testers who have updated their WhatsApp beta for Android to the most recent version. However, the business intends to gradually increase the feature's availability in the next few weeks.

Meanwhile, it was revealed that WhatsApp was working on a new passkey function for account authentication within the Android beta version. This security method involves using a short sequence of letters or numbers to verify users' identities, hence increasing the platform's overall safety.
