Ammon News - WhatsApp released the multiple accounts feature on iOS, making it easier for users to manage more than one account on the same iPhone.

The update allows user to switch between their accounts and keep their chats, notifications, and settings separate.

It introduces a more flexible way to separate conversations without needing the business app.

Although WhatsApp officially announced this feature for iOS users three months ago, not all users were able to add a second account immediately. The feature was still available only to a limited number of users. Finally, most people can finally add a second account with the latest WhatsApp update. That's what we discovered with the latest WhatsApp for iOS 26.22.76 update available on the App Store.

WhatsApp users turn to workarounds before official multi-account support
Until now, users who wanted to use a second account on WhatsApp had to rely on some workarounds. For example, users could install WhatsApp Business alongside the standard app. Alternately, users could register their second account on a different phone. These methods were not always convenient for users who only needed a second personal account on the same device and app.

How to add and set up a second WhatsApp account on iPhone
The multiple account feature lets users have two different accounts on their iPhone. It is a way to manage different conversations separately on the same device, without needing a second phone or WhatsApp Business. To register a second account on WhatsApp, users can tap "Add account" right within the app settings. Here, they will have to enter their second phone number. It is also possible to scan the QR code to set up the account as a linked device.
