How to Install and Run ‘Double WhatsApp’ in Android Phone | 2021

Nowadays, every single android phone is coming with Dual SIM hardware support. So, anyone can use both the SIMs whenever needed. Though we can use both the SIMs, not a long time ago when we were limited to run only a Single WhatsApp Account associated with the single Phone number in android.

But the popular OEMs like Samsung, Xiaomi, Vivo, Oppo, Huawei, OnePlus, and many others have brought the solution to this issue with their in-built feature. That means we can run two WhatsApp accounts associated with both the SIMs inserted inside the phone. As we implied earlier, remember that we do not have to install any third-party apps for running double WhatsApp Account in a single phone.

Using ‘dual apps,’ ‘parallel apps,’ or ‘dual mode’ feature, it is very easy to install and run not only double WhatsApp but other applications as well. Instagram or Facebook, or any other applications can be installed with this feature. In this article, we will focus on installing and running two WhatsApp accounts in a single, smart Android Phone. Following that method, any user can install other chatting or social accounts as needed.

First, we will discuss how to use the in-built feature of the phone to use ‘dual mode’ or ‘parallel mode’ of the phone. But unfortunately, if your phone does not support an in-built feature for installing double WhatsApp or any other Apps, do not worry.

We have got your back. We will also, discuss an alternate method (using Third-Party Apps) to install and run multiple accounts associated with both phone numbers in your smartphone.

In-Build/Default Settings

So, buckle up and let us find the settings in our smartphone where we can start from.

Phones/Brands	Settings
Samsung	Settings >> Advanced Feature>>Dual Messenger
Xiaomi(Redmi)	Settings >> Dual Apps
Oppo(Real Me)	Settings >> Clone Apps
Vivo	Settings >> App Clone
Asus	Settings >> Twin Apps
Huawei/Honor	Settings >> App Twin
OnePlus	Settings >> Utilities >> Parallel Apps

Please note that these settings can differ slightly for different sets of the same brand. The settings’ paths may get modified a little in each update also. So, if you still do not get the desired settings, then be smart and search for ‘Dual’ or ‘Double’ or ‘Twin’ or ‘Clone.’ in your search button under the settings option.

Once you have found your Dual Apps, we can then proceed in using these below steps.

1. Open Dual Apps Mode or Settings. We will show here an example of the OnePlus phone as a reference. Under Settings >> Utilities >> Parallel Apps.

   

   
   
2. Now select the application (in this case WhatsApp) you want to duplicate or replicate in your phone
   
   
   
3. Wait for the process to be completed. It may take a few seconds
4. Once the process is completed, you can minimize or close the settings and come back to the home screen or your phone’s Apps Tray
5. You can now find another WhatsApp Icon in your Home Screen or Apps Tray, as shown below
   
   
   
6. Now you can create a WhatsApp Account and run ‘double WhatsApp’ on your Smartphone. You do not have to install WhatsApp again

Though all phones now do not give their user this in-built feature, OEMs are incorporating this feature day by day. Shortly, maybe all of the Brands will provide the users with this default mode. As I mentioned earlier, Double WhatsApp, other social media apps, or chatting messengers can be installed and run with this mentioned method. Needless to say, users must not have two SIMs to install and run a double WhatsApp Account or any other chatting Apps.

Third-Party Apps

Now, unfortunately, if you had to come to this point because your phone is not having an in-built default feature, as we promised earlier, we will share methods for installing and running a double WhatsApp account on your Smartphone.

Go to Play Store on your smartphone and search for ‘Multiple Accounts’ or ‘Parallel Space’ or ‘Parallel App.’ Install any of the Applications from the top results and give the required access to the App.

Now follow the below steps.

1. As a reference, let us see how we can install Double WhatsApp using Multiple Accounts, a third-party application from PlayStore.
   
   
   
2. Open the application, and an Apps tray would show up like this.
   
   
   
3. Now tap the big + sign(bottom-right corner of the above image) to see all the applications that were already installed on your phone.
   
   
   
4. Select the Apps(by tapping the + signs shown in the picture) you want to duplicate. Please note that at least one software has to be installed on your phone to make the duplicate. For this case, tap the + sign, situated beside WhatsApp Application.
5. Once the app is selected, you will automatically be redirected to the app's tray like this.
   
   
   
6. Now you can add other applications if you want or proceed with the application of your interest.
7. If you want to try WhatsApp, you can give your alternate phone number to install another simultaneous WhatsApp Account.

   
8. Unlike the In-built feature where we can get another Duplicate Apps Icon is getting created in the System's Apps Menu or Home Screen, you have to open its own Apps for third-party applications tray to Run the Duplicate Account(s).

Hope you liked this detailed tutorial for installing and running Simultaneous Duplicate Accounts on your smartphone like WhatsApp, Messenger, Instagram, and other social or chatting Applications.
