Here are the details.<\/p>\n<p>Add new or existing accounts<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last November, WhatsApp began <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2025\/11\/18\/whatsapp-beta-multiple-accounts-iphone\/?utm_source=chatgpt.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">testing<\/a> multi-account support with beta users on iPhone, bringing one of its longest-requested features a step closer to launch.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The beta rollout came months after WABetaInfo spotted references to the feature in the app\u2019s code, alongside groundwork for the upcoming username system.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While username support is still in development, WhatsApp is now officially rolling out multi-account support to users via the App Store version of the app.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As WABetaInfo <a href=\"https:\/\/wabetainfo.com\/whatsapp-is-widely-rolling-out-the-multi-account-feature-on-ios\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">noted<\/a>, WhatsApp officially announced the feature a few months ago, but \u201cnot all users were able to add a second account immediately,\u201d as it was \u201cstill available only to a limited number of users.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s hardly unusual for WhatsApp, which is known for its slow, phased rollouts. The app\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2026\/05\/15\/whatsapp-finally-starts-rolling-out-liquid-glass-more-broadly-on-ios\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Liquid Glass redesign<\/a>, for instance, took more than seven months to reach a broader audience after its initial testing phase, and even now it hasn\u2019t reached everyone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That said, users can check whether the feature is available to them by going to Settings &gt; Account and looking for an \u201cAdd account\u201d option.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"981\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/whatsapp-multi-account.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1056387\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If it appears, they can tap \u201cAdd account\u201d and go through the same setup process used when registering WhatsApp for the first time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Users can either register a new phone number or link an existing account by scanning a QR code. Once configured, switching between accounts can be done directly from the Account menu.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To learn more about the new feature, <a href=\"https:\/\/wabetainfo.com\/whatsapp-is-widely-rolling-out-the-multi-account-feature-on-ios\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">follow this link<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Worth checking out on Amazon<\/p>\n<p>\t\t<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/9to5mac.com\" aria-label=\"Add 9to5Mac as a preferred source on Google\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"google-preferred-source-badge-dark\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/google-preferred-source-badge-dark.png\" alt=\"Add 9to5Mac as a preferred source on Google\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"google-preferred-source-badge-light\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/google-preferred-source-badge-light.png\" alt=\"Add 9to5Mac as a preferred source on Google\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"disclaimer-affiliate\">FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links. <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/about\/#affiliate\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">More.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WhatsApp is finally rolling out multi-account support on iPhone, bringing one of its most requested features to iOS.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":301005,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[74],"class_list":["post-699566","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/699566","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=699566"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/699566\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/301005"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=699566"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=699566"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=699566"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
