A new feature coming to WhatsApp is set to greatly change the way you use the app on a daily basis. It will soon be possible to create multiple accounts and navigate between them.
WhatsApp continues to regularly update its messaging with new features. If the application has already planned a major overhaul of its interface in the coming weeks, this would not be the only new feature planned. Among the next options available in WhatsApp, Mark Zuckerberg (founder of Facebook and the Meta group which owns the rights to the application) announced that it will very soon be possible to alternate between several accounts.
To illustrate this announcement, Mark Zuckerberg preferred to add words to demonstrations. The president of Facebook published a short message on his profile with a photo that illustrates this new feature. We therefore observe two separate accounts with the basic profile of Zuckerberg and a second bearing the mention “work”.
It will therefore be possible to create several accounts within your application and navigate between them. Mark Zuckerberg also specifies: You’ll no longer need to log out every time, carry two phones, or worry about sending messages from the wrong account.” However, it is not specified whether this functionality will be available before the end of the year or even if all smartphones (Android and iOS) are affected.
However, some Internet users did not wait to react very negatively to the announcement of this feature. Several users argued that having multiple accounts on a messaging application would make it easier to use anonymous accounts, spam or even the lives of unfaithful people who want to lead a double life. With great power always comes great responsibility, as they say.
