WhatsApp, one of the most popular messaging platforms globally, is currently experimenting with a new feature that allows users to seamlessly switch between multiple accounts, similar to other social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.
The new feature, known as companion mode, has recently been introduced for iPhones and enables users to connect a single phone number to up to four different devices. This feature has been discreetly rolled out to users on the beta version of WhatsApp Business for Android, according to WABetaInfo, the developers of WhatsApp.

The introduction of this feature is particularly beneficial for business owners and entrepreneurs who manage multiple WhatsApp numbers. With the ability to effortlessly switch between different accounts associated with different phone numbers, users can now efficiently manage their various WhatsApp accounts without relying on third-party solutions or carrying multiple devices.
By simplifying account management, this multi-account feature aims to enhance the user experience and save valuable time and effort. Not only limited to WhatsApp Business, there are reports suggesting that the developers might also consider introducing this feature to WhatsApp Messenger in the future, further expanding its reach.
Currently available in WhatsApp Business v2.23.13.5 beta, it remains uncertain when and if this feature will be rolled out to regular and beta users, as it is still in the testing phase. However, the potential implementation of this feature holds promise for users seeking a more streamlined and convenient messaging experience on WhatsApp.
