WhatsApp Multiple Accounts On Android: WhatsApp, an instant messaging application, grabs headlines for announcing new features. In the latest move, after chat lock and HD image sharing, the platform has announced its much-awaited multiple account feature. The Meta-owned company said that users will have the option to log in to two WhatsApp accounts in one Android app at the same time.

This can prove helpful for users who generally utilise two separate accounts: one focused towards work and a second for more personal communication. Plus, the feature will eliminate the need for dual apps that duplicate WhatsApp on a phone. This will curb the problems of carrying two smartphones or chatting with the wrong number in confusing scenarios.
