WhatsApp has officially launched its highly anticipated multi-account support for iOS users. It is now very easy to manage two accounts on one iPhone.
WhatsApp has finally made the multi-account feature that iOS users have been eagerly awaiting available all over the world. With version 26.22.76, iPhone owners can now manage two different WhatsApp accounts simultaneously on a single device. This feature, which was announced in March 2026 and has been tested with a limited user base for a long time, provides great convenience for those who want to separate personal and business conversations. Users can quickly add accounts within the application settings and control their chat history, notifications and preferences completely independently.
The necessity of carrying a second phone or using WhatsApp Business is no longer necessary.
How to Set Up the Multi-Account Feature
Activating a second account is a very easy process. After tapping the “Add Account” option in WhatsApp settings, all you have to do is enter your second phone number. Alternatively, you can connect an existing account to your device as a secondary account by scanning a QR code.
Cross-Account Migration Becomes Easier
The application makes the transition between accounts extremely fluid. You can change your active account in seconds by pressing and holding the “You” tab or using the switch button in the accounts section. The application currently supports up to two accounts.
Notifications and Privacy Protected
WhatsApp guarantees independent operation of accounts. The application continues to send you instant notifications for invitations or messages sent to an account you do not use. In this way, you can continue the administration without missing any valuable messages. Notification sound and privacy settings of each account can be fully customized by the user.
During the account removal process, the system automatically directs you to back up all your data.
Passkey is Used for Secure Login
When you want to log in to an old account again, the process is accelerated thanks to the saved phone numbers. Additionally, thanks to Passkey support, the need to wait for a 6-digit code is eliminated. This innovation enables users to quickly access their accounts without compromising security.
What to Do If the Feature Cannot Be Accessed
If you cannot see the feature after the update, you can manually trigger the “Add Account” menu using WhatsApp’s official deeplink contact. This formula is the fastest way to understand whether the feature is active on your device or not. Keeping your app fresh through the App Store is critical to taking advantage of the latest features.
