Way 2. Add Another WhatsApp Account on WhatsApp Web

This is the easiest trick you can use to have two WhatsApp accounts on an iPhone. This way works by having one of the accounts on the regular WhatsApp app while having the second one available directly on your phone's browser.

Since WhatsApp syncs the messages from another device, you can view and send responses to both accounts on one phone at once.

  1. Step 1.Open your preferred browser on your iPhone.
  2. Step 2.Go to web.whatsapp.com. If it is redirected to the mobile website, press the three dots icon and choose "Request Desktop Site."

  5. Step 4.Then, use another phone with your second WhatsApp account to scan the code.
  6. Step 5.Once done, the second WhatsApp account will be loaded into your browser, and you can have both accounts active at once — one on the WhatsApp app and one on the browser!
For easier access, you can create the WhatsApp web shortcut on your iPhone home screen.

Way 3. Use a WhatsApp Cloner

Another intelligent method of having 2 WhatsApp accounts on one iPhone is to clone the WhatsApp application. Typically, the cloned WhatsApp app is the same as the original — identical features, identical appearance.

With two WhatsApp apps, it is simple to switch accounts on WhatsApp iPhone. As there are so many app cloners, here, we use Parallel Space as an example to show you how to use 2 WhatsApp in iPhone:

  1. Step 1.Open Parallel Space after downloading it from the App Store.
  2. Step 2.Tap on "+ Add App" and choose "WhatsApp."
  3. Step 3.Then, a clone of WhatsApp will appear within the Parallel Space environment.

Being developed by Meta, WhatsApp Business is intended for small businesses but functions like regular WhatsApp. The greatest part? The two apps — WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business — can be run side by side without interfering. That is, you can have two WhatsApp accounts in one iPhone simultaneously.

Now, just head to App Store on your iPhone and search for WhatsApp Business to download and sign in.

Way 5. Try AirDroid WhatsApp Monitor

Well, to use your own WhatsApp accounts on one iPhone, the above methods are definitely workable; while this option is for those who need to manage others' WhatsApp accounts on a single phone.

With AirDroid WhatsApp Monitor on your iPhone, you can access another WhatsApp account content, such as messages, calls, total usage, etc. Moreover, its "Screen Mirroring" feature provides you with a complete view of another WhatsApp account's real-time screen activities.
