Need personal and business accounts on your WhatsApp? Unfortunately, WhatsApp limits its users to one account per phone, which can feel very limiting. However, there are a few workarounds that allow you to access multiple accounts on WhatsApp including using Parallel Space and cloning your apps with a feature already on your Android phone (Samsung only). iOS devices have fewer options. The most popular and suggested method includes downloading Tutu, then downloading WhatsApp ++ duplicate. Before you get started, make sure you have WhatsApp downloaded and set up.

2Open Parallel Space. This app icon looks like a “P” with yellow, orange, and blue pieces. You can find Parallel Space on your home screen, in the app drawer, or by searching.
