WhatsApp trick: Got two numbers? Here is how you can use two accounts on one smartphone

Over the last decade WhatsApp has built an unmatchable user base across the world. The instant messaging platform claims to have over a billion users across the globe and is consistently introducing new features to enhance user experience. And, if these features are not enough, there are some simple tricks that can take your WhatsApp experience to another level. 

Now, one thing WhatsApp users have been complaining about is that the app doesn’t allow users to access multiple accounts simultaneously on one smartphone. WhatsApp is reportedly working on a feature that will allow you to do the same soon.

The trick allows dual SIM users to run two WhatsApp accounts on the same smartphone. This can be done by cloning WhatsApp and signing-up on the clone using the secondary number. There are some smartphones where the feature could be accessed using system-based cloning option. On other devices, it could be done through third-party apps.

Smartphone manufacturers Xiaomi, OPPO, and Honor allow users to access the option from Settings. It is given by the name of 'Dual Apps', 'Clone App', 'App Twin'. To create two WhatsApp accounts, the users just need to head to any of these options and turn the toggle. 

Unfortunately, the trick can only be executed on Android phones and there is no such option for iPhone users. 

For those Android devices that do not have system-based cloning, the process could be completed by downloading third-party apps like Parallel Space or DualSpace through Google Play Store. Both apps offer a clean virtual space where you'd be able to create and run a clone of WhatsApp - without root or any other pre-requisite.

After the cloning is done, complete regular sign-up process and use two different accounts on the same smartphone.
