How to Merge Two WhatsApp Accounts without Overwriting

1. Is It Possible to Merge Two WhatsApp Accounts?

Unfortunately, there’s no official method to merge two WhatsApp accounts. There’s no such feature introduced by Meta, yet.

Let’s take a look at the methods now.

2. I Have Two WhatsApp Accounts, How to Merge Them?

“Can I merge two WhatsApp accounts?” — you can, and here’s how.

1. Use Dual WhatsApp on Your Device (Android)

Even though this method doesn’t exactly merge 2 WhatsApp accounts, it can help you run two WhatsApps on the same device. As a result, the media you receive on both apps will be synced with your gallery.

Furthermore, this method only works on Android. Some Android phones have a built-in feature to make duplicate apps. On others, you’d have to download an app that lets you make duplicate apps, like Parallel Apps.

That said, here’s how to use this method.

• If your phone has the Dual Apps feature, open the Settings app and navigate to it. If it doesn’t have that feature, download the Parallel Apps app from the Play Store.

• Select WhatsApp from the list of apps that can be duplicated.

  
• Open the duplicated WhatsApp app, then log in with a second number.

3. Can I Change WhatsApp Phone Number to Merge Two WhatsApp Accounts?

If you’re wondering whether can you merge two WhatsApp accounts by changing the phone number, this section is for you.

Unfortunately, changing the phone number doesn’t merge two accounts.

When you change your phone number from WhatsApp settings, all your account information is moved from the old number to the new one. From now on, you’re only able to restore your backups when you log in with the new account. Your old number becomes irrelevant.

Hence, changing the phone number doesn’t really help you merge two accounts.
