It is possible to use two WhatsApp on both Android and iPhone phones.
Using WhatsApp is very easy and practical, both for resolving personal and professional issues. The application, which allows the exchange of messages, photos, videos, audios, documents and making calls, facilitates the interaction between people and companies and has helped a lot in people's busy daily lives.
However, those who use WhatsApp for professional purposes know that, despite its usefulness, the app can sometimes get in the way of free time. Due to its ease, many clients and bosses may try to contact the user via messenger during their free time.
Therefore, many people feel the need to separate their personal and professional WhatsApp, and this is possible, since a single cell phone is capable of supporting two app accounts, with different numbers.
Find out now how this is possible!
Having two WhatsApps on the same mobile device with two different numbers is possible and the process can be done very easily. However, the procedure is different for those with Android and iOS devices.
It is not possible to have two Whatsapp different accounts with the same number, so you need to have two different numbers. On cell phones with the Android operating system with dual chip, the procedure for editing a new account in the application is easier, since the device accepts two different chips. For iPhone users, you need to change the chip to be able to open a new account in the application.
