The platform confirmed that you can now use two phone numbers on the same device.

[{"selector":"#anim-1cb1d600-26d4-43eb-a0b4-d4cb720026f9","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-81946390-9370-4f16-8bba-5f831e6bd6be","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e6f6236f-f1a4-44ce-9846-cf6d175f77ce","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The new feature is helpful for people using dual-SIM connections or an eSIM Android phone.

You can add two profiles by going to the settings of WhatsApp account.

[{"selector":"#anim-bd795ce7-a6a9-4d3c-9164-bc2523b01a4c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-14634915-2024-489d-bdce-a7d137c31613","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-44f1bf25-af04-40f4-ad3b-5e4db4d0b2e4","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

WhatsApp says you can either sign in using a SIM card or eSIM network.

[{"selector":"#anim-bd9e7254-e6e7-49fb-8c44-436ab540d4a6","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9f300ba0-711b-48cf-b5e8-1985a85ed87d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f78cf781-64d2-496c-99b3-1ca720d25add","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Using multiple profiles mean you can separate work and personal messages easily.
