I've been using 2 accounts on my phone for years. I had no idea this was something enabled by Samsung and not by WhatsApp.
That's called app cloning and it's accomplished by the phone manufacturer keeping two copies of Whatsapp that each see a different phone number. Presumably you have a dual SIM phone.
