These features include using dual WhatsApp accounts on the same device, hidden message ticks, Auto-reply (as seen on WhatsApp Business accounts), long video status and more. Its purpose is to provide the same WhatsApp like experience to its users but with extra features that the original WhatsApp does not have. The app comes for both Android and iOS since long.
