Before you start, back up your second WhatsApp account to protect chat history. The video emphasizes this step because adding a new account can reset local data. To back up: Open your second WhatsApp app → Settings → Chats → Chat Backup → Tap “Back Up” (choose Google Drive or local storage). This ensures you don’t lose important conversations.
