Messaging platform WhatsApp has rolled out native multi-account support for iPhone users, finally bringing iOS in line with its Android version.
iPhone users can now add up to two WhatsApp accounts on the same device, according to Gulfnews.
Each account keeps separate chats, notifications, privacy controls and profile settings, while switching between them is handled through a new “Account List” option in the Settings menu.
The capability is currently available to beta testers on iOS version 25.34.10.72 and later. Android users have had similar multi-account functionality since 2023.
The update provides a convenient solution for people who manage both personal and work numbers, eliminating the need for a second device or reliance on the WhatsApp Business app. Notifications are also clearly labelled to show which account a message belongs to, with Face ID or Touch ID required when switching into protected accounts.
Analysts say the move reflects evolving user habits, as more individuals juggle multiple identities or roles from one phone. It also brings WhatsApp closer to rivals that already support multiple profiles.
Although a public rollout date has not been announced, early-access users in some regions are already seeing the feature.
Broader availability is expected soon as WhatsApp continues expanding tools for flexibility across accounts, linked devices and privacy settings.
