- Go to the “Settings” app on your Samsung device.
- Scroll down and tap on “Advanced features.”
- Tap on “Dual Messenger.”
- You’ll see a list of apps that support Dual Messenger. Tap on the app you’d want to use with Dual Messenger. In this case, Whatsapp.
- Toggle the switch next to the app to turn on Dual Messenger for that app.
- Tap on “Install” to download the second version of the app.
- Once the second app is installed, you’ll be able to use two different accounts on the same messaging app.
You’ll be able to tell which version of the app you’re using because the Dual Messenger version will have a second icon on your home screen with a small orange symbol on it.
Note: Not all apps support Dual Messenger, and some apps may have limitations when used with Dual Messenger. But Whatsapp works perfectly.

Benefits of having 4 Whatsapp accounts
There are a few reasons why someone might want to have four WhatsApp accounts:
- Separation of personal and professional life: If someone uses WhatsApp for both personal and professional communication, they may want to keep these two aspects of their life separate by using two different accounts. A third account could be used for communication with a specific group of people or for a specific purpose.
- Business purposes: If someone owns or manages multiple businesses, they may want to have a separate WhatsApp account for each business to communicate with customers or clients.
- Privacy concerns: Some people may want to have multiple WhatsApp accounts to maintain their privacy. For example, they may use one account for communicating with close friends and family, another for casual acquaintances, and a third for online transactions.
- Regional or language differences: If someone has friends or colleagues in different parts of the world or who speak different languages, they may want to use different WhatsApp accounts to communicate with them more effectively.
- Social media management: If someone manages social media accounts for multiple clients or businesses, they may want to have a separate WhatsApp account for each client or business to manage communication related to their social media activity.
- Online activism: Some people may want to use one WhatsApp account for personal communication, one for activism or social causes, and a third for professional purposes.
- Experimental purposes: For tech enthusiasts or people who like to experiment with different apps and settings, having multiple WhatsApp accounts can be a way to try out new features or settings without affecting their primary account.
