Manually? I've done it. You just have to access the backup file stored in your phone and upload it to drive

I figured that's what you meant. Very different than what it is now though.

How can I have the same WhatsApp account on two phones without using WhatsApp web? (I currently have two accounts on the rooted phone.)
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

You're talking from the official WhatsApp perspective, or a phone guy perspective?

I downloaded wazzap from the play store. Was to lazy to look for an apk to sideload, even though there are probably much better options. What would you recommend?

Only notifications for the one you're logged into at the time, which negates a lot of the usefulness. (I think i have a pretty dumb app that just switches back and forth and auto confirms the number for you. I'd like a more advanced app that tricks each WhatsApp into thinking that this is the only one installed on the phone. That should be simpler than using one WhatsApp number on two phones, although if it's just switching back and forth and auto confirming, it should be able to do that too.)

You have 2 options,  1 Google the app og-whatsapp and follow instructions how to install it,  or if you are rooted you can make 2 users on your phone (like it a pc)  ( search on XDA-DEVELOPERS how to do it)  and each user can have their own whatsapp account.
