Dual Whatsapp, 2nd account in secure folder?

[kuljit55]

Hi guys, happy new year. I had a quick question.

On the Samsung Galaxy S10+ running Stock Android 12, One UI 4.0, is it possible using Dual Messenger for the Whatsapp app to have 1 account running in Secure Folder?

I have 2 Whatsapp accounts, personal and work, but want the work account only to operate from the Secure Folder.

If this is possible can someone kindly explain to to enable this please?

Currently i have Dual Messenger enabled for Whatsapp and running 2 accounts on my device. Also i have Secure Folder enabled and set up.

Thank you very much.

Why do you even want it to operate from the secure folder? If you care about security then put a passcode on your whatsapp and file manager. Im pretty sure you can't do what you're trying to do, but I dont have much experience with newer samsung devices anyways, so maybe it's better to wait for more replies.

Now that I think about it though, you might be able to root your phone and move the folder, but im not sure if it would move both account's data to a secure folder. Also, rooting your phone kinda defeats the purpose of a folder with security anyways. Also, if you manage to put the media for one account into a secure folder without affecting the other, whatsapp probably wouldnt be able to access the data anyways. Best bet is for you to put a passcode/pattern on your phone, or on your apps specifically using 3rd party software.

Is there a decent 3rd party whatsapp app? Any suggestions?

Personally, I wouldn't take risks with malware, getting your account stolen or possibly violating TOS.
