Today we will see the possibilities we have to not have to resort to that, and to be able to access, in seconds, both lines at the same time, receiving all the messages without problem, and being able to answer them from the desired number.
Use two WhatsApp numbers at the same time
There are not many ways to get this, and the truth is that they could be more comfortable, but anyway, we will mention them so you can, in a matter of minutes, use those two telephone lines, which you can have on an iPhone, since the current ones have a physical sim and an esim, so it is the simplest step.
Use WhatsApp Bussines
There is one Second WhatsApp app at the App Storewhich you probably have ever seen. This is WhatsApp Bussines, and is designed for companies, that is, so that your store, business, online website, etc., has a support or help number registered as such. However, this is not mandatory, that is, despite creating a profile as if we were a company, we will not be obliged to do so, and we will only download this app as a second WhatsApp, being able to use it for both this type of situations, and on a personal level.
In both apps (the normal and the bussines) we will receive the messages normally and at the same time, that is, it will not be necessary to have an active and change to the other, but will act as a double app, each independent of the other.
We can use the double SIM as we said at the beginning, and also have both lines to receive calls, or simply use only one to have data connection, receiving the messages of both WhatsApp once registered, without having to have the second active line in it.
It does not need much more explanation, since the method is as simple as have both apps and use them as always, with or without the two active lines on the iPhone.
Open WhatsApp Web
Another way to see and answer messages from a different line to what we have in the installed app, is through WhatsApp Web, a service that allows you to use from the browser of your computer or telephone as if it were the application, without the need to have it, which will allow it to have it installed with another number, and use safari to enter the secondary.
The first thing we will have to do is log in to a computer or another device with that second line. From there we will have to follow these steps:
- Open your browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, etc.).
- Go to the page
- You will see a QR code Great on the screen.
Now we will have to take our iPhone, where we want to have those two active lines and continue:
- Open the app of WhatsApp.
- Touches the three points (top right) and select “Linked devices”.
- Touches “Link a device”.
- Scan the QR code that appears on the computer.
Ready. Through that browser, or at least until we eliminate the cache and cookies, we will have access to the second number thanks to WhatsApp Web, however, it has an inconvenience, and it will not be as practical as the app, so to receive something we must access by browser, we will not receive notifications, and also the main device where we have installed that number, it must be active, since it is a simple bridge to it.
These two forms are compatible with each other, so we could say that there is the option of have three WhatsApp numbers on the same iPhonebecause both methods can be done.
Frequent questions
We are going to ask a section of frequent questions in case you have any doubt. If not appear here, you can leave us a comment and we will try to help you.
Is it safe to use WhatsApp Business for a personal number?
Yes, completely. Although the app is designed for business, you are not obliged to complete all business fields. You can use it like any other WhatsApp, with your personal contacts and without any problem.
Can I receive notifications of both numbers at the same time?
Only if you use two different apps, such as normal WhatsApp and Business. In the case of WhatsApp Web, you will not receive notifications in the background, so you must manually enter the browser to see the messages.
Do I need to have the two active lines for it to work?
Not necessarily. You can record the two numbers using a physical sim and an ESIM at the beginning, and then keep only one active. WhatsApp will continue to function whenever you have an Internet connection, although the associated line is not inserted in the iPhone. Of course, you may need to activate it again, so we do not recommend off the number.
What happens if I eliminate one of the apps? I lose my chats?
Yes, if you have not made a backup before deleting the app, you will lose the locally stored chats. It is recommended to make a copy in ICLOUD (from APP settings) before uninstalling.
