Whatsapp is one of the most used messaging platform right now.With 430 million active users, that was supposed to be 200 million in April 2013, WhatsApp doubled it’s users in less than an year. After its acquisition by facebook, number of features and users are definitely going to be increase. Whatsapp is way ahead of its rivals, but what’s lacking is running multiple accounts. So, here is a trick to run two Whatsapp accounts simultaneously on your Android phone.

Before we begin, you will need:
- Any Android device capable of running official Whatsapp app.
- OGWhatsapp apk file, this app is not available on Play Store. Download it from OGWhatsapp official page.

Lets begin
- Backup your Whatsapp messages.
- Copy WhatsApp’s Folder from the phone to My Computer or any other folder in your sd card.

-
Completely uninstall Whatsapp and fully delete WhatsApp’s folder in your phone which can be found easily.
-
Now Install Whatsapp from Google Playstore and register it along with your secondary number (the one you needed in OGWhatsapp) (secondary sim card inserted).
-
Backup your Whatsapp app and save it (just go to Settings > Chat History > Backup)
-
Now,Uninstall whatapp (but you don’t have to delete the WhatsApp folder from your phone)
-
Now Whatsapp folder has to be rename from WhatsApp and to OGWhatsApp in the phone.

-
OGWhatsApp has to be installed now and register it with the secondary number (secondary sim card inserted).
-
Now OGWhatsApp should be operating fine with your secondary number.
- From my computer Copy back the folder Whatsapp to /sdcard/WhatsApp in your phone.
- Again Install Whatsapp from Google playstore and register it with your primary number (primary sim card inserted).
- When you will register your primary mobile number whatsapp will restore the backup so that your Whatsapp is same as it was before you started.
