Africa-Press – Eritrea. <\/strong><\/span>Meta-owned WhatsApp has announced it is introducing multiple accounts in a single device.<\/p>\n

This means two accounts will be logged in at the same time on one device, a feature that was previously unavailable.<\/p>\n

“This will help switch between accounts, such as your work and personal,” the company said in a statement.<\/p>\n

“Now you no longer need to log out each time, carry two phones or worry about messaging from the wrong place.”<\/p>\n

Further, Meta said for one to enjoy the feature, they will need a second phone number and SIM Card, or a phone that accepts multi-SIM or eSIM.<\/p>\n

“Simply open your WhatsApp settings, click on the arrow next to your name, and click ‘add account’. You can control your privacy and notification settings on each account,” Meta added.<\/p>\n

WhatsApp also warned its users against using imitated or fake versions of the platform, as a way of getting multiple accounts on their phones.<\/p>\n

“As a reminder, only use the official WhatsApp and don\u2019t download imitations or fake versions as a way of getting more accounts on your phone. Your messages are only secure and private when using the official WhatsApp.”<\/p>\n

The company also announced several Artificial Intelligence products and features that will be available on the platform.<\/p>\n

“We are inspired by the possibilities of Generative AI, and how it can help people be more creative, productive, and entertained simply by sending a message.”<\/p>\n

It noted that it wants to help people using WhatsApp access access the emerging technology,<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re introducing three new AI services powered by Meta that represent the first steps in what we expect to be a long path of experimentation for all of us.”<\/p>\n
