Got two SIMs? Here’s how you can set up two WhatsApp accounts on your phone - The Indian Express

Most phones these days in India come with dual SIM slots, allowing users to have one number dedicated to work and the other for their personal life. While WhatsApp does not officially support two accounts on a single device, people still manage to set two up.

Chinese phone manufacturers like Oppo, Xiaomi, Realme, Vivo, and OnePlus have built-in app cloners that let you install two instances of WhatsApp and run them together, each with a unique account. Samsung allows it too with its Dual Messenger feature. If your phone runs stock Android and does not support cloning, then there are even third-party apps that help you do that.

If you are confused about how you can run two WhatsApp accounts on the same device, then we've got you covered in this article. Scroll to your device manufacturer and follow the instructions therein.

UBports GSI brings Ubuntu Touch to any Project Treble-supported Android device - XDA Developers

Image
The ability to boot an AOSP Generic System Image (GSI) on a compatible Android device is one of the best outcomes of Project Treble, but a similar achievement has yet to be made in the domain of generic kernel development. Google does mandate a minimum Linux kernel version requirement with each new release of Android, but you still can’t simply flash a generic ARM Linux distribution on your Android smartphone and expect it to work due to the fact that the majority of the Android devices are not using a mainline Linux kernel.
