WhatsApp, owned by Meta, is reportedly developing a multi-account feature for Android users. This feature will enable individuals to access multiple accounts from a single device, as per information shared by WABetaInfo. The implementation involves the addition of a menu that allows users to select the desired account for login purposes.
Upon creating an additional account for the first time, it will be saved on the device until the user chooses to log out. This will allow users to switch between accounts conveniently whenever they wish to do so. The integration of this feature will enable users to manage various aspects of their lives, such as personal conversations, work-related discussions, and social interactions, all within a single app. Additionally, it will facilitate privacy maintenance, efficient notification management, and seamless switching between different accounts, eliminating the need for parallel apps.
The multi-account feature is currently in development and will be made available to beta testers in a future update of the WhatsApp application.
