How to have two accounts on one phone using WhatsApp Business
Search for WhatsApp Business on the Google Play Store and install it. This app is separate from the regular messaging app, making it a good option for those who want to have two messaging apps on one phone. Since WhatsApp Business is aimed at businesses, it offers specific features for each segment, such as automatic replies and product/service catalogs.
This way, you can use the “normal” app with your personal number and connect WhatsApp Business to your business phone. One app does not interfere with the other. Each one only works with that chip (number).
The best part is that it's not just for Android devices. WhatsApp Business is also a good alternative for those who want to use two accounts of the app on their iPhone. The logic is the same. You can connect one number to the regular app and another to the business version.
Can I use two accounts on my computer?

Can I clone WhatsApp using the multiple accounts service?
