I am using Dual Messenger for my Whatsapp account associated with my second sim card.

Whatsapp is blocked here and I need to use VPN to make it work.

My primary Whatsapp account traffic is going through VPN and works fine, but traffic from my second Whatsapp (which is on Dual Messenger) is not going through VPN and I have no clue why.

Please kindly let me know how to solve this problem.

Hi, have you tried uninstalling and re-installing the app and verify?

I don't have any experience in the way dual sim works, but are you able to set up secure folder with a whatsapp copy, and assign the separate sim to the secure folder? If so, you can run another VPN client against the secure folder.

I believe the actual problem is that whatsapp traffic from Samsung Dual Messenger does not pass from VPN because Dual Messenger uses different profile. It's by design and I need Samsung recommendation to see how can I run VPN in profile that Dual Messenger is using.
The reason that I cannot reinstall whatsapp is that I won't be able to use whatsapp backup since it is old. Why? Because whatsapp is blocked here and therefore it can't take backup and upload in Google drive.
Before whatsapp being blocked, I linked my laptop with my whatsapp and after it got blocked, I used VPN on laptop to receive whatsapp messages and read them from browser (https://web.whatsapp.com/). A few days ago, whatsapp on my browser asked me to link device again and I stuck because my whatsapp is on Dual Messenger and its traffic does not leave through VPN.
