1. Why is my WhatsApp backup not showing on iCloud?

Your WhatsApp backup on iCloud gets stored in an encrypted format. However, if you don't see the backup file itself, it means it hasn't been uploaded to iCloud yet.

Yes, on an Android phone using certain third-party applications, you can have 2 WhatsApp accounts on one phone. However, on the iPhone, this is not even possible. But if you really want 2 WhatsApp accounts on your phone, you can download WhatsApp Business and convert one of your accounts to a business account to continue chatting from the same phone.
