| Two copies of WhatsApp |
Unfortunately, it isn't officially possible to make a separate version of the WhatsApp application on the same phone. WhatsApp does not support running multiple accounts on the same device through the official application.
However, you can use third-party apps that provide the feature of running more than one WhatsApp account on the same phone. For example, you can use apps like Parallel Space, Dual Space, or WhatsApp Business to add a copy of WhatsApp on the same device.
Please note that third-party applications may cause security issues or conflict with official WhatsApp updates, so use them at your own risk.
How do you use two WhatsApp accounts on the same device?
On some devices like Redmi devices running Xiaomi's MIUI, the "Dual Apps" feature allows users to create duplicate instances of certain apps. This feature enables users to run two separate accounts simultaneously on the same device. By enabling Dual Apps, you can have two versions of apps like WhatsApp, Facebook, or any other supported app, each linked to a different account.
Dual applications on a Redmi device
To use dual applications on a Redmi device, you can typically leverage the
built-in feature called "Dual Apps" or "Dual Mode" provided by Xiaomi's MIUI
(the custom Android skin used on Redmi devices). This feature allows you to
create a duplicate instance of an app so that you can run two separate
accounts simultaneously on the same device.
Here are the general
steps to enable and use Dual Apps on a Redmi device:
1. **Enable Dual Apps:**
- Go to your device's "Settings".
- Look for the "Dual Apps" or "Dual Mode" option (this may be located under the "Apps" or "App Clone" section).
- Find the app you want to duplicate (e.g., WhatsApp) and toggle the switch to enable the creation of a dual app.
2. **Set up the Dual App:**
- Once enabled, a duplicate app icon will appear on your home screen or app drawer.
- Open the duplicate app and set it up with a different account or phone number.
3. **Use Dual Apps:**
- You can now use both the original app and the dual app
simultaneously to access two separate accounts.
Note:
The steps may vary slightly depending on the specific version of MIUI on your Redmi device. If you can't find the Dual Apps feature in your device settings,
you can also search for "App Clone" or "Clone Apps" as Xiaomi sometimes uses
these terms interchangeably.
If your Redmi device doesn't have this
feature built-in, you can consider using third-party apps like Parallel Space
or Dual Space from the Google Play Store to achieve a similar dual app
functionality.
