When it comes to messaging apps, WhatsApp is undoubtedly one of the most popular. The Meta-owned platform was one of the first third-party messaging apps on the market, with users flocking to it for encrypted messaging and other ease of use features.
It's also one of the most regularly updated messaging apps. In the last few months, it feels like the platform has received new features every other day. We've seen the addition of videos like voice notes, for sending quick videos to friends and family.
Before that, we had Channels, which brought together communities revolving around particular topics. We've even seen the addition of screen sharing over video call.
But today, an update has arrived which is arguably the most exciting yet. That's because WhatsApp has added a feature which has been requested for years – multiple accounts on one device.
That's perfect if, say, you have a work phone and a personal phone. Before now, you'd have to use two phones to use two WhatsApp accounts at the same time. But now, you can flit between two different accounts on one handset. Your pockets are already cheering.
It's a truly fantastic upgrade – and one which is certain to delight swathes of users. This has been one of the most heavily requested features for a long time, and finally having a native solution will be a big deal for users.
