Got two phone numbers? No problem! This guide will show you how to use WhatsApp Plus on your Android phone with dual SIM cards.
We all know how handy dual SIM phones are, but some apps like WhatsApp Plus need a little extra setup to work smoothly with both numbers.
Don’t worry, it’s easy! We’ll walk you through the steps to get your WhatsApp Plus up and running with both SIM cards.
How to Use WhatsApp Plus with Dual Sims
Requirements:
Before you start, make sure you have:
- An Android smartphone with dual SIM slot and functionality.
- Downloaded the latest WhatsApp Plus APK.
- I purchased a secondary prepaid SIM card from a carrier to use with WhatsApp Plus.
Activation of the Second SIM Slot
- Go to Settings > SIM & Network.
- Enable the second SIM slot by activating it.
- The tray icon will appear allowing you to insert the second SIM.
- Insert the prepaid SIM card into slot 2 and close the tray.
- Wait for the network to register and activate the secondary SIM.
Official WhatsApp Registration in the Main SIM 1
- Open the “Play Store” on your device.
- Search for “WhatsApp Messenger” and install the official version.
- Register your main phone number in this application as normal.
- This will bind only to your main SIM in slot 1.
Install WhatsApp Plus on a Second SIM
- Activate “Install from unknown sources” in Settings.
- Open the WhatsApp Plus APK you downloaded and complete the installation.
- During configuration, register using only the second SIM number.
- This isolates it from your official WhatsApp on the other SIM.
Customization of Application Icons
- Download a launcher such as Nova Launcher from Play Store.
- Press and hold the WhatsApp Plus icon and edit it.
- Change the icon image to something other than the official WhatsApp icon.
- This helps to clearly distinguish between the two applications.
Notification Management
- Go to Settings and then click on the Applications and Notifications tab labeled Notifications.
- Tap on WhatsApp and WhatsApp Plus and customize the notifications for each.
- For example, set different notification sounds for each application.
- This avoids confusion when simultaneous notifications arrive.
Use of Multiple Accounts
- Now you can easily switch between your two WhatsApp accounts.
- Slide your finger down from the top and touch the SIM switch to switch on the fly.
- Keep conversations and data isolated in each account for privacy.
- Enjoy the advantages of separating work and personal communication.
Conclusion
With some handy customizations, dual SIM phones can securely manage both WhatsApp and WhatsApp Plus.
