Samsung phones have dual whatsapp feature which is great but when I am trying to join any group or community link it opens primary whatsapp only and doesnt show any option to open the link in secondary whatsapp.
I have changed the open default settings also still it only shows on 1st whatsapp only.
This is a common issue with Samsung's Dual Messenger feature. By default, Android only recognizes the primary app for opening links, and Samsung’s implementation of Dual WhatsApp doesn’t properly register the second instance for link handling. Here are a few workarounds you can try:
Workarounds to Open Group/Community Links in Secondary WhatsApp Method 1: Copy & Paste the Link Manually Copy the WhatsApp group/community invite link. Open the secondary WhatsApp manually. Paste the link in any chat or in the message box and tap it to open. Method 2: Use "Share" Instead of Clicking the Link When you receive a WhatsApp invite link, long-press the link instead of clicking it. Tap Share and select your secondary WhatsApp from the share options. Method 3: Use "Open With" Option
If your device isn’t showing an “Open with” prompt:
Go to Settings > Apps > WhatsApp (Primary) > Set as Default. Tap Clear Defaults to reset how links are opened. Now try opening the link again and see if it asks which WhatsApp to use. Method 4: Open in Browser First Copy the WhatsApp invite link. Paste it in Chrome and remove the "https://chat.whatsapp.com/" part from the URL. Press Enter and manually select your second WhatsApp. Method 5: Use a Third-Party App
Apps like "App Cloner" or "Parallel Space" sometimes provide better handling of dual apps than Samsung’s Dual Messenger. If the built-in feature doesn’t work well, you might want to try these alternatives.

I am not wasting my time recording video or sharing log files with you just to get a generic response from you. This is a half baked feautre of dual messenger function by samsung.
