If you run dual SIM in your mobile phones, you might be willing to enjoy two separate WhatsApp account for your two different telephone numbers. Isn't it?

However, this is where WhatsApp puts limitations on its users. WhatsApp users can not use more than one WhatsApp account on their mobile devices.

You are probably wondering:

"How do I find an excellent solution to this problem that actually works?"

Today, I am introducing you not one but multiple solutions to your problem that will allow you to run two WhatsApp accounts in one phone.

METHOD 1: Use Multi-User in Android Lollipop Phones


If you want to run 2 WhatsApp Accounts on One Android Phone, you can use the Multi-User Featureoffered by the Android Lollipop Operating System, including Cyanogen OS and other custom ROMs.

Step 3: Switch to the New User by pulling down the notification bar and clicking on New User icon.
Step 4: Once turned to New User, you will be provided with an all new phone interface with default phone settings.
Step 5: Now, Install WhatsApp in the New User Mode.
Step 6: Once WhatsApp is downloaded, enter all the details, and that is it.

With the multi-user feature, you can even Enjoy multiple WhatsApp accounts on your single Android device.




METHOD 2: USE SWITCHME TO RUN MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS


SwitchMe-multiple-accounts

SwitchMe is an Android app that allows you to have two separate WhatsApp accounts on a single Android device, but this app requires your Android smartphone be rooted.

Now, Here's the deal:

Switchme multiple account app allows you to log in and out of multiple user spaces however it needs root access to do this. However, users cannot access the other profile from their current profile because each account within the multiple profiles will have its settings, applications, and data.

Follow these simple steps to go:
Step 1: Root your Android device.
Step 2: Make sure that you have WhatsApp app installed on your smartphone.
Step 3: Install SwitchMe Multiple accounts on your smartphone.
Step 4: Run SwitchMe Multiple accounts, it will ask for Superuser request that you need to grant.
Step 5: Now create a user profile with your name in SwitchMe app. This profile will be an administrator account containing all the current apps and settings, and will also reflect your WhatsApp profile that is already installed on your smartphone.
Step 6: Now create another profile using a different name by tapping on the Create Profile button in SwitchMe app, and then choose the Switch option by selecting this account.
Step 7: Now your smartphone will restart automatically and once it is ready to use, install official WhatsApp again from Google Play Store and register it for the different phone number. That is it.

Congratulations!

Unlike multi-user feature in Android Lollipop, the Free version of SwitchMe allows you to enjoy only 2 WhatsApp accounts on one single phone. However, SwitchMe's paid account allows you to run multiple WhatsApp accounts.



METHOD 3: USING OGWhatsApp


OGWhatsApp is an Android app that allows you to use two separate WhatsApp accounts on your single Android device without any need to root your Android device.
