How to run two WhatsApps on one computer - in detail?

To run two instances of WhatsApp on a single computer, you can use several methods, each with its own advantages and limitations. Here are the detailed steps for the most common approaches:

Method 1: Using WhatsApp Web

WhatsApp Web allows you to access your account through a web browser. You can open multiple browser windows or tabs to run two instances of WhatsApp Web.

Steps:

  1. Open your primary web browser (e.g., Google Chrome) and navigate to web.whatsapp.com.
  2. Scan the QR code with your first phone to log in to WhatsApp Web.
  3. Open a new window or tab in the same browser and navigate to web.whatsapp.com again.
  4. Scan the QR code with your second phone to log in to another instance of WhatsApp Web.

Method 2: Using Different Browsers

If you prefer not to use multiple tabs or windows within the same browser, you can use different browsers for each WhatsApp instance.

Steps:

  1. Open your first web browser (e.g., Google Chrome) and navigate to web.whatsapp.com.
  2. Scan the QR code with your first phone.
  3. Close that browser and open a different one (e.g., Mozilla Firefox).
  4. Navigate to web.whatsapp.com in the second browser.
  5. Scan the QR code with your second phone.

Method 3: Using Incognito Mode

Incognito mode allows you to run separate instances of WhatsApp Web within the same browser without interfering with each other.

Steps:

  1. Open your primary web browser (e.g., Google Chrome).
  2. Press Ctrl + Shift + N to open an Incognito window.
  3. Navigate to web.whatsapp.com in the Incognito window and scan the QR code with your first phone.
  4. Open another Incognito window using Ctrl + Shift + N and navigate to web.whatsapp.com.
  5. Scan the QR code with your second phone.

Method 4: Using WhatsApp Desktop Application

The WhatsApp desktop application allows you to run multiple instances using a workaround with different user profiles or virtual machines.

Steps:

  1. Download and install the WhatsApp desktop application from whatsapp.com/download.
  2. Log in to your first account by scanning the QR code with your phone.
  3. To create a second instance, you can use a virtual machine or different user profiles on your computer:
    • Using Virtual Machines: Install a virtual machine software (e.g., VMware, VirtualBox) and set up a new virtual machine. Install the WhatsApp desktop application within the virtual machine and log in with your second account.
    • Using Different User Profiles: Create a new user profile on your computer. Log in to that profile and install the WhatsApp desktop application, then log in with your second account.

By following these detailed steps, you can effectively run two instances of WhatsApp on a single computer, allowing for better organization and management of your communications.
