I have 2 devices and 2 WhatsApp accounts of my own.
Devices are Samsung GT-S7582 and MI 4A. Coolpad is a relatively new device and hence I am experimenting with the Samsung device as the MI 4A allows 2 versions of WhatsApp to be run on the same device.
Suppose my MAC address for Samsung is 11:22:3344:55:66 and for MI 4A is AA:BB:CC
D:EE:FF
I am trying to run a second whatsapp account simultaneously in my Samsung as well as MI 4A devices.
So just to check whether its possible, I tried accessing my wife's WhatsApp in my Samsung and her own device simultaneously.
Steps involved.
1. Uninstalled WhatsApp from Samsung and reinstalled it.
2. Downloaded Kingo Root, Busybox and Terminal Emulator on Samsung.
3. Rooted the phone.
4. Changed Samsungs MAC address from 11:22:3344:55:66 to AA:BB:CC
D:EE:FF.
5. Checked the same in Terminal Emulator with the command busybox iplink show and got the MAC address as AA:BB:CC
D:EE:FF.
6. Went back to phone's setting but still the MAC address showed 11:22:3344:55:66.
7. Assuming that the MAC address spoofing was complete, I went and configured WhatsApp on my Samsung with my wife's number.
8. Entered the confirmation code and had my wife's WhatsApp running on my Samsung device.
9. Checked wife's phone and opened WhatsApp. But the WhatsApp on her device was de-activated.
Queries:
1. Why did the Samsung device showed the MAC address as 11:22:3344:55:66 in the phone's setting even though it showed a different MAC address in the Terminal Emulator and confirmed that the MAC address had been successfully spoofed? Is this normal?
2. Is it really possible to access the same WhatsApp account on 2 seperate devices without disconnecting either of them because I think in WhatsApp one can't register on more than 1 device.
