macOS – How to Use Multiple WhatsApp Clients on Mac

macmacoswhatsapp

I used to go in terminal and run

sudo /Applications/WhatsApp.app/Contents/MacOS/WhatsApp /secondary

to load two instances of Whatsapp desktop and work with both my business and home whatsapp simultaneously. Since Big Sur it won't let the second window connect to the internet though.

Any other suggestions on how I could set up a second instance of Whatsapp on my mac?

I don't know why you don't have internet on the second instance, but I want to provide an alternative. In your browser, visit web.whatsapp.com and create a window shortcut. It will act like a secondary app.

In any Chromium browser you can do it at Settings > More Tools > Create Shortcut then make sure it will be in Window mode.
