There are many users who continue to demand the possibility of use two different accounts WhatsApp on the same phone, with the advantages that this entails. But at the moment, those responsible for it do not offer this possibility, so officially we can only install one application. WhatsApp and use an account by phone. But there are methods to use two accounts WhatsApp at the same time on the same phone, either through the terminal's own utilities or through third-party applications.
Thus, we offer you a guide with two basic options for Android terminals, one using the native functionality of your terminal as in some models Samsung or resorting to specific and free applications available in Google Play, as Parallel Space, App Cloner either 2Face.
How to use WhatsApp with two accounts at the same time
One of the main advantages of the newest smartphones is the possibility of insert two SIM cards to enjoy two different numbers on the same terminal. For this reason, some manufacturers such as Samsung have not been slow to offer a utility that aims to take advantage of this functionality, such as the duplication of applications natively and completely legally, which allows us to use two different accounts in messaging applications like WhatsApp. Thus, each manufacturer uses their own names to define the duplication of apps on some of their terminals, such as Dual Messaging on Samsung, Twin App on Huawei, Clone Apps on Xiaomi or Parallel Apps on OnePlus, among many others.
How to use Dual Messaging on Samsung phones
As we say, not all smartphones allow the duplication of apps natively, although Samsung begins to offer it in all its most high-performance terminals. To do this, follow the following steps:
- Go to Settings.
- In the Settings menu, look for the Advanced Features entry.
- In Advanced Features we must access Dual Messaging.
- If your mobile does not show this option, you must go to the second option using third-party apps.

Through third-party applications
If our smartphone does not support the option of offering two WhatsApp accounts natively, we can always rely on specific and free third-party applications available on Google Play, such as Parallel Space, App Cloner or 2Face. They all work in a similar way, so we will focus on one of the most popular, Parallel Space, which has greater compatibility. You can download it through this link.
