Install WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business says the internet.

I believe you have to use whatsapp and Whatssapp Business as two separate apps.

Ok, so not like android then where it’s normal WhatsApp on both sims ?

No, do a simple internet search and there are lots of articles on it.

For Android....
The dual apps feature (sometimes also referred to as parallel apps), is not directly related to dual SIMs.

While WhatsApp requires a unique mobile number per install, it doesn't have to be active in that mobile.

Some dual SIM mobiles don't natively support dual apps (e.g. Pixels), although there are workarounds.

Kinda thought the android option is much better.

can have 2 Whatspp icons next to each other on Home Screen….
kinda works very well

Why are two apps needed? How is this better than having two IDs in one app?

Does WhatsApp support 2 IDs on an iPhone?

I'm an idiot. One of my friends has two, but I just realised that this is because she has two phones.
