You can run two WhatsApp accounts on one phone, it’s actually very easy. Read this article to see how to have two copies of WhatsApp on one phone  
 There are two easy methods we’ll share with you here…Installing WhatsApp on your phone via Google Play.  k if your manufacturer supports app cloning as well and if yes, then these steps should work to get a second copy of WhatsApp on your phone. It’s a little different on a Vivo phone.

How to run two WhatsApp accounts on a Vivo phone

The steps for Vivo are very similar to other brands, but slightly different. To clone WhatsApp on a Vivo phone, simply follow these steps:
  • Go to ‘Settings’.
  • Scroll down to find ‘App Clone’, and tap it.
  • Now, toggle the switch to enable ‘Display the Clone button’.
  • Next, Install WhatsApp on your phone via Google Play.
  • Long press on any app icon. You’ll see a small ‘x’ to remove apps, but some, like WhatsApp, will also have a small ‘+’ symbol.
  • Tap the + to clone WhatsApp on your phone.
  • At this point, you should have two copies of WhatsApp on your phone.
Here’s what you have to do next – Set up dual WhatsApp:
Setting up your second WhatsApp account is extremely simple, just like setting up the first one. Here are the detailed steps.
  • Start the second WhatsApp.
  • On the next page, tap on ‘Agree and Continue’.
  • Next, you can grant files and contacts access to this copy of WhatsApp by tapping ‘Continue’ and following on-screen instructions, or tap on ‘Not now’ for now.
  • Now, you have to verify your phone number. This is the crucial part – remember, it has to be the second SIM phone number; if you type in your primary number, you’re just shifting WhatsApp access from one app to the next.
  • Once you’ve typed in your number, tap ‘Next,’ then confirm the number by tapping on ‘OK’.
  • WhatsApp will then send a verification code to check the number, which it will auto-read if you’ve granted permissions.
  • Otherwise, just type in the verification number, and you’re good to go.
  • In case you don’t get the SMS, you can also tap the Call button on-screen to get a verification phone call.
  • That’s it – now you’ve got two versions of WhatsApp running on your phone. You’ll be able to send and receive messages using both numbers.
You can also use the steps given above to install multiple copies of other apps. If you want two Twitter apps or two Facebook apps on your phone, for personal use and a business account, for example, that’s easy to do following the same steps.
What if my phone doesn’t support app cloning?
If your phone doesn’t support app cloning, and you want to run two Whatsapp accounts on one phone, then please use our second method.
In this second method, we will install a second copy of WhatsApp using an app called Parallel Space.
Please note that you will still need a dual-SIM phone in order to send and receive messages from two accounts.
As the name suggests, this app called Parallel Space creates a parallel “space” where you can install apps, which allows you to clone different apps.
Here are the steps to using the Parallel Space app:
  • You have to first install Parallel Space from Google Play.
  • Once you start the app, it will immediately take you to a Clone Apps page.
  • Select all apps you want to clone, and tap the Add to Parallel Space button.
  • Next, you’ll be taken to the parallel space, where the app is run in a virtual install on your phone.
  • Now, continue to set up WhatsApp as described above.
  • That’s it; you can use WhatsApp and other apps by accessing them through the Parallel Space app.
  • Once again, this can also be used for apps like Facebook.
