Nowadays, people are preferring to have a dual Sim smartphone in which they can run two mobile networks. One for personal use and another one for official purpose. At the same time, most of the people are using WhatsApp messenger in their smartphones, but there is a limitation. We are unable to use two separate accounts in WhatsApp on one smartphone.

However, there are many third-party apps available on the Google Play Store that are allowing you to use two or more WhatsApp accounts on the same mobile phone. These apps are facilitating you to install multiple WhatsApp accounts on your smartphone and then you can run multiple WhatsApp accounts in these apps simultaneously.
