"One another" and "Each Other" are reciprocal pronouns that appear to mean the same thing but they should not be used interchangeably.

 

"One another" is often used when we are referring to more than 2 subjects.

E.g. Peter, Sam and John are loyal to one another.

 

"Each other" is used when referring to 2 individuals.

E.g. John and Susan love each other.

 

However, this rule is quickly disappearing in English nowadays. Many renowned authors have started to use these terms interchangeably.

 

Do note that "one another" is often used in another context; it's preferred over "each other" when speaking of an ordered series of events or stages.

E.g. The children followed one another into the classroom.

The ants crawled up the wall one after another.
