Here's a quick advice, more of a trick, on how to use WhatsApp on two different numbers on the same phone. The fact that most smartphones sold in the country are dual SIM phones, and many users have a secondary SIM, aids persons who want to employ this WhatsApp scam. While WhatsApp does not officially permit utilising two numbers on the same device, it is possible,It is impossible to prevent people from going ahead and doing it. So, here's a handy list of Android solutions for accessing WhatsApp on two numbers.
- Using the built-in manufacturer's solution, you can access Dual WhatsApp (Android)
The custom Android versions such as One UI, MIUI, OxygenOS, and Realme UI come with a handy function that adds a second copy of WhatsApp to a smartphone from Samsung, Vivo, Xiaomi, Oppo, OnePlus, Realme, and a few others.
Companies accomplish this in a variety of ways; some create a duplicate of the WhatsApp app that works in tandem with your original WhatsApp app. Others establish a so-called "virtual" user, who is identified by a distinctive mark on the app's icon.
Regardless of how they're implemented, services like Xiaomi's Dual Apps, Samsung's Dual Messenger, Oppo's App Cloner, Vivo's App Clone, and Oneplus' Parallel Apps feature can be really useful — simply type the relevant option stated above into the Settings app to get started. You will not be able to add a second WhatsApp account to your device if you do not have a smartphone from one of these manufacturers.
- Using a tool from the Google Play Store to ‘clone' WhatsApp (Android)

Users will need to download a third-party programme that delivers the same capability to these devices in order to use WhatsApp with a second number.
Users who wish to clone WhatsApp on their devices could search for "app clone" in the Google Play Store, which will bring up a variety of apps that can let users create a second WhatsApp account on their device. LBE Tech's Parallel Space and Oasis Feng's Island are the most popular apps, but users can also try out other apps after looking over the list.
