WhatsApp to introduce multi-account feature for users on a single phone
Delhi : The long-awaited ability to use several WhatsApp accounts on the same device is finally being tested by WhatsApp. Users were previously only allowed to utilize one account in the WhatsApp app. Because of this, using several WhatsApp accounts on the same device required using clone WhatsApp programs. In addition to being an inconvenience, these third-party programs posed a security concern.
The multi-account capability of WhatsApp is apparently being made available to Android users. According to WABetaInfo, WhatsApp is presently testing the new functionality with Android beta 2.23.18.21, which is the most recent update that is compatible. However, by installing specific earlier upgrades of the program, some fortunate beta testers might be able to access the same feature.`
According to the screenshot provided by WABetaInfo, the multi-account feature will ultimately enable users to add an additional account on the same device directly from WhatsApp Settings. Users will be able to move between accounts on the same device without the need for additional hardware or parallel programs because it will keep discussions and alerts separate.
By removing the requirement to create a separate WhatsApp account, even from a different device, the multi-account functionality will make it easier to use many accounts on a single device. Users might only be able to add one more account to their app, so keep that in mind.
However, it's likely that WhatsApp will raise this cap in a later software update. Similar functionality will be available in Meta's other apps, such as Facebook and Instagram, where users may sign into numerous accounts and smoothly move between profiles with a single swipe. The availability of the multi-account capability to Android beta testers also suggests that it is anticipated to be offered to the entire public shortly, even if there has been no official announcement from WhatsApp regarding the feature. This feature will first be available to Android users.
In the meantime, WhatsApp is also updating its user interface (UI). In order to give users a more cutting-edge experience, the company is overhauling the settings interface. The Status, Chats, and other tab navigation bars will reportedly relocate to the bottom of the app. Additionally, WhatsApp is introducing a new Communities tab. In addition, the app's top bar will no longer be green thanks to the corporation.
