With your mobile phone it is officially not possible to use different WhatsApp accounts at the same time, something that is possible on your laptop or desktop computer. Using Altus, an open source program, you can log in to different accounts, each with their own tab.
Install Altus
Some people use more than one WhatsApp account to separate their business communications from their private messages. However, WhatsApp is pretty clear on its website: your account can only be verified with one number on one device. However, you can try to access multiple WhatsApp accounts simultaneously from your computer by using a different browser for each account and then logging into the web version of WhatsApp. However, it can be easier with a tool that divides the communication into different tabs. Download Altus for that. There is a version for macOS, Windows and Linux. During the installation, you may receive a warning from Windows Defender. You may ignore these and continue with the installation.
Tabs
In the window Add Instance First, give the tab a name. You can also check here whether you want to receive notifications and whether you want to switch on the sound. Below that, choose the theme: standard or dark. Then click on the button Add Tab. Then open WhatsApp on your smartphone and go to WhatsApp Web so you can scan the QR code. This is how you connect the phone to the WhatsApp web view. To connect a second account, you need to create a new tab. To do this, click on the green plus sign in the navigation bar. You then repeat this method as often as you have accounts.
Custom theme
Altus nestles in the system tray. You can therefore easily minimize the app. You will then receive notifications from the icon in the system tray. You can give each account a different theme and even create custom themes. Go to the menu theme and select the command Custom Theme. You create your own theme by choosing colors for the background, text, icons and so on. Each theme that you compose in this way can be given a name.
