Summary
iPhone users can now add a second WhatsApp account in the App Store version, expanding a feature that had previously reached only a limited group.
Settings > Account now shows an “Add account” option for eligible users, letting them register a new phone number or link an existing account by scanning a QR code.
Once set up, users can switch between accounts directly from the Account menu, bringing iOS in line with one of WhatsApp’s longest-requested features.
The rollout follows beta testing that began last November and reflects WhatsApp’s typically slow phased releases; its username system remains in development.
