Many iPhone users want to use multiple WhatsApp accounts on one device, but they often get confused because the iPhone version does not show a direct log out or switch account option. If you are also facing the same problem, then this guide will help you step-by-step
Why iPhone Doesn’t Show a Log Out Option?
Unlike Android phones, Apple does not allow dual apps for WhatsApp.
That means you cannot officially install WhatsApp Dual, GB WhatsApp, or WhatsApp Business clone on your iPhone.
Because of this, iPhone users do not get the option to:
- Logout
- Switch Account
- Add multiple profiles
But don’t worry—there are still simple methods to change your WhatsApp account and add another number on the same iPhone.
