Was just reading the above conversation. My phone allows me to have 2 whatsapps without a 3rd party app. I believe many Android phones allow it.

Nope, only the apps I listed above. Go to Settings->apps->parallel apps and enable the apps to your liking. I don't know specifically which phones support this feature.

Not the biggest deal, just use a third party app. I was using a 3rd part app for a while.
