How to use 2 WhatsApp accounts in a Dual SIM phone?

If you have a dual SIM phone, you can use the different SIM cards to make calls using separate numbers; and send text messages using different numbers. But did you know that you can set up two WhatsApp accounts and use them on the same phone? If you ever wondered how to install two WhatsApp accounts on a phone, then you've come to the right place.

There are some different ways of doing it; and some phone manufacturers offer this as a built-in feature. In other cases, you will have to resort to third-party applications; but it's actually quite easy to run two WhatsApp accounts on an Android phone. Sorry, iPhone users, with you do not apply the steps to explain.

Obviously, this method of running two WhatsApp accounts on a phone requires a dual SIM phone: WhatsApp uses the phone number as its identity and detects it through a text message or call; so it has to be a phone with two SIM cards. However, if you have a dual SIM phone, then the next step should be to verify your configuration, because it is quite possible that the manufacturer has already created dual WhatsApp configurations.

Many Chinese manufacturers allow you to create application clones, which can then be used with a dual SIM configuration. For example, in the EMUI mask of Honor, the function is called App Twin. On Xiaomi phones, it's called Dual Apps. Vivo calls it Clone App; while Oppo calls it Clone application.

The way in which each of these companies has configured it varies a little; so you will want to consult specific information for your phone. 

What if your phone does not support application cloning?

If your phone does not support the cloning of applications, there are still a couple of ways to continue and install a second copy of WhatsApp. You will still need a dual SIM phone to send and receive messages from two accounts. There are some popular methods that you will find online; and the one we thought was better is an application called clone app.

 

As its name suggests, this application creates a "clone space" where you can install applications; which allows you to clone different applications. These are the steps to use this application:

clone app 

First you must install clone app from Google Play. Once you start the application, it will immediately take you to a Clone Applications page.

Select all the applications that you wish to clone and touch the Add to clone app button.

Then, they will take you to clone app, where the application runs in a virtual installation on your phone.

Now, continue configuring WhatsApp as described above.

That's it, you can use WhatsApp and other applications by accessing them through the clone app application.

Another method you will find in many sites is to install an application called GBWhatsApp, but this involves installing the application through APK, which has a small element of risk involved. In addition to that, it is only useful for a single scenario, which runs dual WhatsApp; so we believe that using clone app is a better option.

 That's all about it. Now you can start using two WhatsApp accounts at the same time.
