WhatsApp now lets iPhone users run two accounts on a single device, adding a long-requested option that Android users already had. The same update also brings Meta AI tools for photo editing and message drafting, along with personalized emoji suggestions while chatting.
Two WhatsApp accounts on one iPhone
The dual-account feature gives iPhone users a way to separate personal and work conversations without carrying a second phone. WhatsApp has already offered the option on Android, and iPhone now gets the same setup.
The feature is designed for people who juggle more than one number or account on the same device. Users can see which account is active from the profile picture shown in the app’s bottom tab, which helps avoid confusion when switching between chats.
Meta AI steps into photo editing and drafting
The iPhone update is not just about account management. WhatsApp is also adding Meta AI-powered tools inside chats, including photo editing features that can remove unwanted objects, change backgrounds, or apply different styles before an image is sent.
WhatsApp is also adding AI Writing Help, which can suggest draft responses based on the conversation. Another user-facing addition in the update is personalized emoji recommendations, which can suggest emojis while users are chatting with a contact.
Rollout details are still unclear
What is not yet fully clear is how widely the iPhone dual-account feature is available. It is not clear whether the rollout is broad or staged.
For iPhone users, the immediate change is simple: two accounts can now live on one device, with Meta AI features layered into everyday chats.
