How to Use Two WhatsApp Numbers on One Phone: There’s a Trick
Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia –Having two phone numbers has become commonplace for many people. Some people use one number for personal matters with family and friends, while the other is specifically for work, business, or client communications. Of course, this also means having two separate WhatsApp accounts for each of these purposes.
Until now, the common belief has been that to access both accounts simultaneously, you need to carry two separate phones—one for your personal account and one for your work account. Or, if you’re at a computer, you can open the second account via WhatsApp Web on your laptop or PC. But unfortunately, when you’re traveling, you still have to manage two devices at once, right?
The good news is, you don’t actually need to carry two phones just to monitor two WhatsApp accounts anymore! There’s a simple way to access both accounts from a single device, without having to install any additional, risky apps. While you can’t log in directly from the main WhatsApp app like the latest multi-account feature, this trick is still safe, official, and can be used by anyone starting today.
How? You can continue using one account as usual through the WhatsApp app installed on your phone. The second account will be opened through your phone’s browser, utilizing the desktop version—exactly like opening WhatsApp Web on a computer, but now directly from your phone’s screen.
Here are the complete steps:
– Open any browser available on your phone, such as Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Safari, or your device’s default browser.
– Type and visit the official website address: www.whatsapp.com.
– Open your browser’s settings menu (usually the three dots or gear icon in the corner of the screen), then select the “Desktop Site” or “Request Computer View” option.
– The page will change to look exactly like the WhatsApp Web interface on a computer, and a large QR code will appear on the screen.
– Grab another phone that’s still logged in with your second WhatsApp account, open the Linked Devices menu, select Link New Device, and then scan the QR code displayed in your primary phone’s browser.
– That’s it! In a few seconds, your second account will be open and ready to use directly from that browser.
With this trick, you can easily switch between monitoring personal chats in your main app and opening work messages in a browser tab at any time—all without having to swap SIM cards or carry two devices. It’s convenient, space-saving, and maintains the boundary between your personal and professional lives!
