1. How to Clone WhatsApp on a Samsung Phone

Setting up dual WhatsApp accounts on a Samsung phone is easy. Follow the steps below to enable and use two WhatsApp accounts simultaneously. Note that this feature can also be applied to other chat or social media apps. Here are the instructions:

• On your Samsung phone, open the Settings.
• In the app drawer, use the search feature and enter "Settings." Click on it when it appears.
