WhatsApp Offers a Christmas Gift to All Android Users.

Trending Now

A long-awaited feature in WhatsApp is finally accessible to everyone just a few days before Christmas. Here's how to use it.

This novelty had been anticipated for some time, especially since it was available in the beta version of WhatsApp for Android. However, it is now official and accessible to all: we can now have two accounts simultaneously on our devices.

The online messaging platform, WhatsApp, has introduced its account switching feature for Android users.

According to Liternaute, Meta, on its X network account, users of Google's operating system can now switch between two accounts on the same device. In other words, they can have their personal account and another authorized one.

Who is this option for? A practical case could be, for example, someone who has a service account and wants multiple people to be able to use it to access information and communicate via this "more common" account. Thus, the account owner can "assign" access directly from third-party devices.

This option is also interesting for other cases, but undoubtedly, users will find ways to take advantage of this new functionality.

How to access this novelty? Android users can access this feature by going to Settings, next to the account name, clicking on the downward arrow, and choosing the New Account option.

WhatsApp indicates that users can add accounts to the WhatsApp login at the same time and use two WhatsApp accounts on one device.

With these features, users will be able to use two WhatsApp accounts on the same device and will not need to carry an additional device to use another WhatsApp account. Finally, a practical method for users who wish to separate their accounts on the same device.
