Android devices that do not support the dual App setting 

For devices that do not support the "dual app" option, you can still use two different WhatsApp accounts on the device by simply downloading "Multiple Accounts App" from the device play store. This App is more versatile than the inbuilt phone dual App option and supports the duplication of virtually all social media Apps and other App on your device.
