Describe the bug

I can't log in to other WhatsApp (fouadraheb) as linked devices because it duplicates my chats on both, gives me an error and logs me out.

It doesn't matter if I install 2 different WhatsApp ipas or create containers in it, it's always the same result.

Instructions to reproduce

Install LiveContainer IPA via Altserver

Install WhatsApp V25.1.83 via LiveContainer

Create 2 containers diferents or Install other WhatsApp Duplicate V25.1.83

Login on Whatsapp for other device vinculate (this phase works well) but login on other container or other Whatsapp with other account duplicate the chats in both whatsapp and close both

What version of LiveContainer are you using?

Version 3.2.0-release (main/7ac835f)

Other info

iPhone 11
iOS 18.2.1

Can't confirm. Installing 2 WhatsApp won't work as they share the same keychain group, however 2 containers for 1 WhatsApp should work. If you installed WhatsApp before 3.1.0, you might need to clean up your keychain so that keychain separation can work. You can do this by going to settings -> clean up keychain

Install livecontainer with clean version 3.2.55

Create 2 Containers from WhatsApp settings with "New Data Folder" option, enter how to link as an additional device and everything is correct, but when I change to the 2nd container and enter with another WhatsApp session as an additional device, it enters but duplicates the WhatsApp 1 chats in WhatsApp 2 and at that moment it closes both sessions.

I did the setup -> keychain cleanup step but it doesn't work, what else can I try?

I'm trying several things but I can't avoid this detail.

Thank you very much for responding so quickly and you have done an excellent job.

The latest version should fix this issue. Please note that you'll need to enable "Isolate App Group" for each WhatApp's container since WhatsApp saves all data inside app group.
