How to set up WhatsApp with two SIM cards - in detail?
To set up WhatsApp with two SIM cards, follow these detailed steps:
-
Install WhatsApp on both devices: Ensure that both of your devices have the WhatsApp application installed. You can download it from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
-
Set up the primary device:
- Insert SIM card 1 into Device 1.
- Open WhatsApp and set up your account using your phone number (SIM card 1).
- Complete the verification process by entering the code sent to your phone number.
-
Set up the secondary device:
- Insert SIM card 2 into Device 2.
- Open WhatsApp and attempt to set up your account using your second phone number (SIM card 2). WhatsApp will detect that this number is already in use and prompt you to choose between "Use phone" or "Don't use this number".
- Select "Don't use this number". This will allow you to proceed with the setup process without verifying SIM card 2.

Link devices using WhatsApp Web:
-
Configure notifications:
- On both devices, go to Settings > Notifications to ensure that you receive alerts for new messages on either device.

- By default, messages sent or received from one device will be synchronized across all linked devices. To manage your message history, go to Settings > Chats > Chat History Migration. Here you can choose to migrate your chat history between devices if needed.
By following these steps, you will successfully set up WhatsApp with two SIM cards on separate devices, allowing you to maintain a seamless communication experience across both numbers.
