WhatsApp unveils multi-account feature

WhatsApp is introducing a much-anticipated feature that will empower users to seamlessly switch between multiple accounts on a single device, addressing the inconvenience faced by those managing multiple WhatsApp accounts. This innovative functionality eliminates the need for cumbersome workarounds like app cloning or utilizing separate devices for each account.

The emergence of this feature was initially unveiled by WABetaInfo, a prominent tracker of WhatsApp features. Presently, this capability is exclusively accessible to beta users of WhatsApp's Android versions 2.23.17.7 and 2.23.17.8.

For beta testers, determining their eligibility for the multi-account feature involves a simple process. By tapping the icon adjacent to the QR code within the app's settings, eligible users will encounter a card at the bottom of the screen, offering the option to integrate an additional account. This entails entering the corresponding phone number and password for the new account.

The user experience for this feature remains intuitive. To transition between different accounts, users need only tap the aforementioned icon, selecting the desired account. Each account functions autonomously, encompassing distinct chats, notifications, and settings – all harmoniously coexisting on a single device.

As of the current status quo, the multi-account functionality is exclusively accessible to Android beta testers. Regrettably, non-beta testers are precluded from its usage at this juncture. While the Google Play Beta Program for WhatsApp could offer a potential avenue for access, it is presently at full capacity and not accommodating new participants.
