Mark Zuckerberg, the founder and CEO of Meta, has now announced that WhatsApp users will be able to use two accounts on one phone within a single app. Users will be able to easily switch between the two accounts from within the app, without having to install any additional applications or use the WhatsApp Business application.

- Now, click on the down arrow next to your name.
- Then, click on “Add account” and then click on “Agree and continue”.

As you will have two WhatsApp accounts on your phone, notifications may get a bit cluttered and confusing between the two accounts.
To help solve this, WhatsApp has said that you can set the notification and privacy settings separately for each account. This means that you can change the notification tone for each account, to help differentiate between messages on both the accounts.
Additionally, you can change the privacy settings on both the accounts, be it for your picture or the status that you post on the app.
