Having two numbers of WhatsApp on your iPhone is something that many surely come to Pearl to avoid having to carry two phones, but implementation of the messaging service is limited to a number per device, and it is impossible to install two WhatsApp applications in your iPhone, or at least so far, was because there is a very simple way of doing it and don’t need to be a developer to do this , or have done Jailbreak. Explain what you step by step with images and all the necessary instructions.
Requirements
We use WhatsApp ++, an unofficial application which, until now, was only available for devices with Jailbreak, but who now, thanks to Cydia Impactor can be easily installed into devices without Jailbreak done. To do so we need:
- Cydia Impactor, that you can download it for Mac, Windows and even Linux from this link.
- WhatsApp ++, whose “ipa” file you can download from this link.
- A smartphone with the phone number which we will use in this new WhatsApp, where will send us the message with the activation code.
- A count of Apple, not is needed that is developer.
Procedure
With the iPhone connected to your computer via USB cable (always advisable to be original or certificate to avoid problems) run Cydia Impactor. In the window of the application our iPhone should appear to us to certify that it has detected it correctly.
Only thing you need to do is drag the file “” downloaded ipa before the window of Cydia Impactor, and the process of signed to install it on your iPhone will automatically start. Are we ask then our user of Apple and the password. You can use your usual, it is not necessary to be developer, or create one without credit card for these purposes, which is what I personally recommend.
After a few seconds the application will be filmed with your account and in addition there will be installed in your iPhone, without having to use Xcode or iTunes, or complex procedures of installation of certificates or anything similar. But not you finished yet, because in order to use it before you have to give a couple of steps more.
If you execute the application that has just appeared on your springboard you will come the message that the developer is not reliable. Enter in them settings of the system, in General > management of profiles and devices, click on the profile of yours has that have used to Cydia Impactor, and then click in “trust”. Now that you can use the application WhatsApp ++ with another phone number other than the main of your iPhone.
WhatsApp ++, more configuration options
This application is a vitamin-enriched WhatsApp, with more configuration options than enjoy the official app. To this menu of configuration is enter from the tab “configuration” that have down to the right, within the own application, and just under your profile will see the menu “WhatsApp ++ Settings”, with options of configuration as color of the text, to send photos unlimited, customization of the theme, etc.
Limitations of WhatsApp ++
Everything may not be perfect, and have this app installed on your iPhone has a few drawbacks:
- This procedure is valid for a week, since it is what takes the certificate of “free” developer. If you have official developer account and you use it in Cydia Impactor lasts a year. A time expires you will have that return to repeat the procedure from the beginning and return to install the application signed with Cydia impinger.
- Them notifications Push not work well, in sometimes arrive without problems but other times not arrive, by what have that enter in the application to see if have messages of form periodic.
- Once you activate your WhatsApp account on the iPhone, you can not use that same account on another phone or will deactivate and will have to set it up.
- It would not be the first time that WhatsApp blocks to users who use non-official uses, is a risk you should know before you start using WhatsApp ++.
Despite all these drawbacks, many of us are grateful to have another account of WhatsApp to our device and save us having to carry another phone over.
