So have you ever been to a position where you wanted to configure
multiple WhatsApp accounts on your phone? These kind of situation arises when
you have a dual SIM phone and want to activate the account on both the numbers

asks for the Superuser request, Grant it.
- Now create two
different user profiles to configure 2 WhatsApp accounts. Each
of these accounts will have their own system data and apps.

created will be the administrator account which will be containing the
apps and settings you have currently. If you are using WhatsApp already it
will be available in this profile.
- The second profile will be
the new one.
