WhatsApp's New Switch Accounts Feature

In the iOS 25.19.20.74 beta test, some users have spotted a new option called "Switch Accounts" in WhatsApp settings. This feature displays all linked profiles on a single screen, allowing users to quickly switch to another account. Until now, this feature wasn't natively available on WhatsApp, requiring users to repeatedly log in and out. Initial reports indicate that the feature is currently in limited beta testing.

Why is this feature in high demand?

In many countries, including India, people use two WhatsApp accounts on the same phone. Sometimes the phone is shared within a family, and sometimes they create separate accounts for personal and friend groups. With different icons, privacy settings, and chat patterns, users have different needs for different profiles. Because of this, multi-account support has long been considered a much-needed feature.

Currently, this feature has only appeared in the iOS beta, but WhatsApp's Android support has always been considered fast. Experts believe that if testing is successful, it will soon reach Android beta users as well.

Summary

There has been no official statement from WhatsApp yet, so the public rollout may take time. Currently, this feature is believed to be in the initial testing phase
