WhatsApp Update 2025: iPhone Users Can Manage Personal, Work Chats in Same App
WhatsApp is introducing a new update for iPhone users that allows them to manage both personal and work chats in the same app.
This means you won't need to switch between different apps or carry an extra phone.
The update is currently in beta testing and will be available to everyone by early 2026.
You can add a second account by going to settings and following a few simple steps.
Each account will have its own chats, backups, and privacy settings.
You can also use the App Lock feature to keep your accounts secure.
Additionally, WhatsApp is rolling out a new status notes feature, similar to Instagram's bio updates, which lets you share short updates about your mood or availability.
WhatsApp is introducing a multi-account feature for iPhone users, allowing them to manage personal and work chats in the same app.
The update is currently in limited beta testing and is expected to roll out to all iPhone users by early 2026.
Users can add a second account by going to settings and registering a new number or linking an existing one.
Each account maintains isolated histories, media settings, and notification preferences, with clear tags to avoid mix-ups.
The App Lock feature integrates with Face ID, Touch ID, or a passcode to secure protected profiles.
