Updating multiple WhatsApp accounts
The WhatsApp news was released by the WABetaInfo portal this week after tests on WhatsApp beta for Android 2.23.17.8.
It is very common that, before releasing access to the general public, the update is made available for selected people to use and verify the need for corrections and new features.
This is how the specialized technology portal managed to access the great news of WhatsApp. In previous modifications, the app was already testing a screen that separated work messages and personal conversations.
In the new update, the developers have added an icon next to the user's QRCode. Upon clicking the icon, the person sees a login area at the bottom of the application. There, you can see the connected number and the option “Add account”.
The feature is similar to what happens on other platforms, such as Instagram, which allows more than one access to manage accounts.

Is updating different accounts on WhatsApp available?
As we said, this option will be offered in the WhatsApp beta version for Android. That way, only those who currently have a release for testing can access it.
So far, the messaging app has not reported on the launch date of the new feature. However, the expectation is that it will be made available soon to other WhatsApp users.
