How to make a duplicate of WhatsApp on Samsung - in detail?

To create a duplicate of WhatsApp on a Samsung device, you can follow these detailed steps:

1. Backup and Restore: The most straightforward method is to use the backup and restore feature provided by WhatsApp. First, open WhatsApp on your primary phone (we'll call it Phone A) and go to Settings > Chats > Backup. This will create a backup of your chats, which you can then restore on another Samsung device (Phone B).

   To restore the backup on Phone B:

   • Install WhatsApp from the Google Play Store.
   • Open WhatsApp and follow the prompts to set up your account using the same phone number as Phone A.
   • When prompted, tap Restore to transfer your chats from the backup file to Phone B.

2. Use Parallel Space: If you want to run two instances of WhatsApp on the same device, you can use an app called Parallel Space. Here's how:

   • Download and install Parallel Space from the Google Play Store.
   • Open Parallel Space and tap + to add a new app.
   • Select WhatsApp from the list of apps. This will create a duplicate instance of WhatsApp within Parallel Space.
   • Set up your account in the duplicated WhatsApp as you normally would.

3. Use Dual Messenger (Samsung-specific): Samsung devices come with a built-in feature called Dual Messenger, which allows you to create a duplicate of certain apps, including WhatsApp. Here's how:

   • Open the Settings app on your Samsung device.
   • Scroll down and tap Advanced features.
   • Tap Dual Messenger.
   • Find WhatsApp in the list and toggle it on. This will create a duplicate of WhatsApp with a different icon (usually with a '2' next to it).
   • Set up your account in the duplicated WhatsApp as you normally would.
