Been using whatsapp for a long time on my old iphone. Verified my number a long time ago and thus its linked. I want to open a second whatsapp account but do not want it to be linked to my real number. At the moment, i actually have two active sim cards so two active numbers. One of the numbers is an old on and its linked to my primary whatsapp. I also have two iphones so i want the second whatsapp to be in the other iphone which does not have whatsapp.
I know if i wanted to use my other sim card number to create a second whatsapp account, i can easily do this. But i want privacy and do not want the other people to have access to my number. I know that when you check your whatsapp contacts, it shows the other person's number. So i want the number that is shown to the other person be not real. Does anyone have tips on how I can do this?
I used textnow and got a number but apparently whatsapp does not accept it. Does whatsapp allow you to use a google voice number as verification or not? Because I tried to log into my other google account, then sign up for google voice number... and then put my other sms number as verification since you need a real number to get a new GV number... but when I did this, i did get 6 digit text and thought I had gotten a google voice number. Then I later found out I don't when I check my settings and it says I don't even have a google voice number. I then removed the other sms number i have linked to it and tried to redo it... same issue. Because when I click on get google voice number, it does give you numbers but when you choose it... which i already did minutes ago with verification, it ask for a number to verify... and when i use the same sms number to verify, it doesn't allow it since I already used it minutes ago to verify what was supposedly my new google voice number.
Can anyone give me any options here? Does burner app from app store work?
