How will it be helpful for users
This feature will save users from having to constantly log out of their accounts to carry an additional device or switch between accounts. The purpose of WhatsApp account switching feature is to make it easier for users to manage their conversations across multiple accounts. For example, if a user has different WhatsApp accounts for work and for messaging friends and family members, this feature will allow them to seamlessly switch between these accounts on the same smartphone. .

What will users need to switch WhatsApp account?
WhatsApp said that if users want to set up a second account, they will still need a different phone number and SIM card (or a phone that supports multi-SIM or eSIM). This means that this feature will work only on dual-SIM smartphones.

Secondary smartphone or optional SIM card will be required
For your information, users will need a secondary smartphone or optional SIM card to receive the one-time passcode. WhatsApp sends these codes via SMS so that users can access their second account on a different smartphone. WhatsApp spokesperson Ellie Heatrick has also said that after the initial verification is done, the app will continue to work for both accounts without another smartphone or SIM.
