Multi-account: WhatsApp is working on a new function

It will soon be possible to manage multiple WhatsApp accounts on the same device.

The new function has been discovered in the WhatsApp Business beta for Android 2.23.13.5. The screenshot shows how an account can be selected or added in the settings menu.

This means that it will soon be possible to manage multiple accounts - such as a work account and a private account. Private and professional life can thus be separated and notifications will be visible for each account. And separate mobiles will no longer be necessary, at least for WhatsApp.

The function was discovered in the business app, but according to Wabetainfo, it is not an exclusive tool for companies. However, it will be a while before all users can manage multiple accounts.

Testing devices and gadgets is my thing. Some experiments lead to interesting insights, others to demolished phones. I’m hooked on series and can’t imagine life without Netflix. In summer, you’ll find me soaking up the sun by the lake or at a music festival.
