Hey guys,

DISCLAIMER: I am by no means taking credit for this, I am just sharing what I found because I know how hard the information can be to find on the internet. As you should already know, you are always responsible for you own device :)

So we have dual sim phones? That means 2 phone numbers right? So why not 2 Whatsapp at the same time as well?

Well the idea hit me today that I needed another Whatsapp for my second number, so I went searching again for this information and just like searching for root for my N9208 dual sim, the information was all over the place with different ways of accomplishing it. Most of the result indicated that I needed root which I was ok with because I had root, but I thought about my fellow note 5 pees who didn't have root and I found one that was so easy and didn't need root.

1. You are going to download the original Whatsapp from the play store if you don't already have it, set it up with any of the number in your dual sim and make sure its working.
Note: Skip step one (1) if you already have the original Whatsapp setup
2. Next you are going to download Whatsmapp from here or the original site here.
3. Install the Whatsmapp apk as you would any other apk.
4. Setup the Whatsmapp with your second number in your dual sim
5. Profit :)

This information was accumulated by searching the web. My thanks goes out to all developers who help me to arrive this solution. If you, a developer come here and see a violation that I overlooked please inbox me and I will rectify it right away :) Thanks again

The better way is to install My Knox and just have two official WhatsApp apps running one in knox and one regular

Whatsmapp is a pita to keep updated
It's always good to have options. Thanks for pointing this out just in case others wanted to try this method :)

Thank you thank you for the Knox idea.

I was trying to search for another Viber app so i could have both my viber accounts on the same phone since im on a dual sim phone

Now because of the Knox idea im able to have both my personal and business accounts for whatsapp and viber active at the same time.

Ill have to use my fingerprint to access the other account but thats a small price to pay.

Thank you very much again. This made my day

:) happy you were about to test and confirm that this method works, now just for others to understand, if you should root your phone you will not have the Knox anymore. If someone know how to have both Knox and root at the same time please share :)

2 whatsapps instances on the same phone - just use myknox

Hey guys,
Well the idea hit me today that I needed another Whatsapp for my second number, so I went searching again for this information and just like searching for root for my N9208 dual sim, the information was all over the place with different ways of accomplishing it. Most of the result indicated that I needed root which I was ok with because I had root, but I thought about my fellow note 5 pees who didn't have root and I found one that was so easy and didn't need root.
The easiest way if you are using a Note 5, and any Knox equipped Samsung phone, is to just use MyKnox. This gives you the option to not just run two separate WhatsApps (and original apps) but other apps as well (Telegram, Skype, etc..) seamlessly, and in a secure container (with quick access because you can use your fingerprint to auth between them). It's really quick, nice and easy.

Secondly, you do not necessarily have to have a Dual SIM. All you need at the time of setting those up is to insert the SIM you need to use, set up the app, then remove it. Of course this will work until you reset, or you could back up and restore using samsung cloud after reset. The other option is to use telephone call auth, since both whatsapp, telegram etc all can call the number to send you the auth PIN/code. So that number can technically be in a different phone than the one you are setting up.

This is the one REALLY lovely and cool feature that myknox has, and a real edge samsung has over the bunch (unfortunately not many users know this).
