WhatsApp Will Soon Allow Two Account Logins At Once
The new update aims to make it easier to switch between WhatsApp accounts.

If you own two separate WhatsApp accounts, you can soon log in to both simultaneously from a single device. CEO of Meta, Mark Zuckerberg, just announced the new feature for Android users that will roll out over the coming weeks.
Meta explained that you’ll still need separate phone numbers and SIM cards (or a phone that accepts dual SIMs) if you want to set up a second account. You’ll also need the second number to receive a one-time passcode via SMS to verify your second account on a different device. After the initial setup, the app will work as normal for both accounts without the second device or SIM, explained WhatsApp spokesperson Ellie Heatrick.

The new dual account feature could be extremely useful for influencers or those with separate work and family profiles, as until now, two devices would have been required to use both accounts at the same time.

Saudi EV Adoption Accelerates With BYD Expansion & Tesla Launch
Saudi Arabia’s EV market is gaining momentum as BYD plans major showroom growth and Tesla establishes a foothold in Riyadh.

Saudi Arabia’s ambitions to become a regional hub for electric mobility are drawing greater investment from global automakers. As part of Vision 2030, the Kingdom is targeting 30% electric vehicle (EV) adoption in the capital, Riyadh, by the end of the decade — an objective that’s now shaping the strategic interests of international EV brands.
Chinese manufacturer BYD is planning a substantial thrust into the Saudi market, building on its current footprint of three showrooms. According to Jerome Saigot, BYD’s managing director in the Kingdom, the company aims to open 10 showrooms by the end of 2026.
“Saudi Arabia is a complex market. You need to go fast. You need to think big,” Saigot recently told reporters. “We are not here to stay at 5,000 or 10,000 cars a year”.
The announcement follows Tesla’s entry into the Saudi EV space, with the US automaker opening its first showroom in Riyadh in April. Tesla joins early players like BYD and Geely in what remains a nascent but strategically important segment for the Kingdom.
The Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) has also ramped up its electric mobility agenda. Its efforts include major investments in Lucid Motors, the creation of local EV brand Ceer, and support for the rollout of national charging infrastructure.

However, electric vehicles still only account for just over 1% of total car sales in Saudi Arabia, according to data from PwC cited by Bloomberg. Key challenges include high upfront costs, limited public charging access, and the added complexity of operating in extreme heat conditions.
In spite of those hurdles, Saigot views Tesla’s entry as a net positive. “The more Tesla communicates on marketing, the better it is for us,” he said. Saigot joined BYD in April, having previously held executive roles at Nissan and Great Wall Motor.
With multiple brands scaling up activity in parallel — and government-backed infrastructure investment underway — Saudi Arabia’s EV sector appears set for rapid acceleration over the next few years.
