Latest known WhatsApp problems on OnePlus 2
1
How do I run two WhatsApp accounts on the OnePlus 2 by cloning the app?
OnePlus's built-in clone feature is called Parallel Apps (found on newer OxygenOS builds under Settings > Apps > Parallel Apps) — toggle WhatsApp on to create a second cloned copy, then register your second number on the clone. Note the original OnePlus 2 shipped on very old OxygenOS and may not include Parallel Apps; if you don't see it, the simplest alternative is to install WhatsApp Business from the Play Store and use it for your second number.

Can I run a second WhatsApp Business account alongside regular WhatsApp on my OnePlus 2?
Yes — WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business are separate apps, so install WhatsApp Business from the Play Store and register your second number on it directly, with no cloning needed. If you instead want two of the same app (two regular WhatsApp accounts) and your OxygenOS build supports it, use Parallel Apps under Settings > Apps > Parallel Apps to clone WhatsApp. See how others solved this on Reddit
3
I flashed LineageOS on my OnePlus 2 — can I still use dual WhatsApp accounts?
LineageOS doesn't include OnePlus's Parallel Apps cloning, so that built-in option disappears after flashing a custom ROM. Instead, install WhatsApp Business from the Play Store for your second number, or set up an Android work profile with a tool like Shelter and add a second copy of WhatsApp inside it.

My OnePlus 2 has two SIM cards — how does WhatsApp decide which number to use?
WhatsApp registers to one specific phone number, not to a SIM slot, so once you're verified it doesn't matter which SIM is active for sending or receiving messages. During setup just enter the number you want WhatsApp tied to and let it read the verification SMS on that SIM; to use both numbers, register one in the main WhatsApp and the other in a second app (WhatsApp Business, or a Parallel Apps clone if your build supports it).

WhatsApp keeps crashing or missing notifications on my OnePlus phone — how do I fix it?
Most OnePlus WhatsApp glitches come from aggressive battery optimization killing the app in the background. Go to Settings > Apps > WhatsApp > Battery (or App battery usage) and set it to Don't optimize / No restrictions, and turn off any Advanced/Deep optimization or Sleep standby option in Settings > Battery. If it still misbehaves, clear the app cache under Settings > Apps > WhatsApp > Storage (this won't delete chats), then update WhatsApp from the Play Store. See how others solved this on Reddit
6
WhatsApp won't load the registration screen on my OnePlus after an Android update — what now?
After a major Android upgrade WhatsApp can hang before verification, usually from a corrupted install state or cache — clear it via Settings > Apps > WhatsApp > Storage > Clear cache, then reboot. If the registration screen still won't load, uninstall and reinstall the latest WhatsApp from the Play Store, and confirm the SIM you're registering can receive the SMS verification code.

How to install WhatsApp on OnePlus 2
1
Choose how to download
On your OnePlus 2 you can get the official app two ways: from the Google Play Store — the easiest option, since it keeps WhatsApp updated automatically — or directly from the official website. You can download an APK file, by clicking a link “Download WhatsApp directly”.
2
Open WhatsApp
Launch WhatsApp from your home screen or app drawer and accept the Terms of Service to start setup.
3
Verify your phone number
Enter your phone number. If your OnePlus 2 uses dual SIM, pick the line you want WhatsApp tied to, then enter the 6-digit code it sends by SMS — it usually fills in automatically.
4
Restore chats and finish setup
Restore your chat history from Google Drive (use the same Google account), add your name and photo, and tap Allow for notifications so messages and calls arrive reliably.
Stay safe: only ever install WhatsApp from the official Android source. The Download button above already points there — modified copies (GB/Plus/Aero WhatsApp) can get your number banned.
