No, two WhatsApp accounts cannot share the same phone number. When setting up a WhatsApp account, a unique phone number is required per account. If an attempt is made to register the same number on two devices, the service will automatically log out the previous session. This ensures that your conversation history remains private and secure. Consider using WhatsApp Business for a secondary account if needed, using a different phone number for setup. This maintains separate personal and professional communications efficiently.
