Can you use WhatsApp on multiple devices? If so, how?

[mostakimvip06]

Yes, you can use WhatsApp on multiple devices simultaneously. WhatsApp offers a "Linked Devices" feature that allows you to connect your primary WhatsApp account on your phone to up to four other devices. These linked devices can include:

Computers: Through WhatsApp Web (accessed via a browser at web.whatsapp.com) or the dedicated WhatsApp Desktop application (available for Windows and Mac).
Tablets: Including Android tablets and iPads (though iPad functionality was initially through WhatsApp Web, a dedicated app is now available).
Companion Phones: You can link a second phone malaysia whatsapp number data to your primary WhatsApp account. This allows you to use WhatsApp on two smartphones with the same phone number.
Other Devices: Some other devices like Ray-Ban Stories/Meta smart glasses and VR headsets also support linking to WhatsApp.
Here's how to link additional devices to your primary WhatsApp account:

Using a QR Code (Most Common Method):

Open WhatsApp on your primary phone: This is the phone number you used to register your WhatsApp account.
Access Linked Devices:
Android: Tap the three vertical dots (menu) in the top-right corner and select Linked devices.
iPhone: Go to Settings (bottom-right corner) and tap Linked Devices.
Tap "Link a device": You might be asked to authenticate using your fingerprint, face ID, or phone PIN for security purposes.
Open WhatsApp Web/Desktop/Tablet App on the new device:
For WhatsApp Web, go to web.whatsapp.com in a web browser.
For WhatsApp Desktop, open the application.
For WhatsApp Tablet/Companion Phone, download and open the WhatsApp application. On the initial screen, look for an option like "Link a device" or tap the three vertical dots and select "Link to existing account" (on Android) or "Connect as Companion Device" (on iPhone).
Scan the QR Code: A QR code will be displayed on the screen of the new device (computer, tablet, or companion phone). Use your primary phone's camera (which will be active after tapping "Link a device") to scan this QR code. Make sure to position your phone's camera correctly over the QR code until it's successfully scanned.
Wait for Synchronization: Once the QR code is scanned, WhatsApp will begin to synchronize your chats and media onto the linked device. This process might take a few moments depending on the size of your chat history.
Linking with a Phone Number (WhatsApp Web and Desktop):

WhatsApp also offers an option to link devices using your phone number, primarily for WhatsApp Web and Desktop:

Open WhatsApp Web or Desktop on the new device.
Click on "Link with phone number" or "Log in with phone number".
Select your country and enter your primary WhatsApp account's phone number. Click "Next".
An eight-character code will appear on the screen.
On your primary phone: A notification saying "Enter code to link new device" should appear from WhatsApp. Tap on it.
Your primary phone will show the name and location of the device you're trying to link. If it's correct, tap "Confirm".
Enter the eight-character code displayed on the new device into your primary phone.
Important Points to Remember:

Your primary phone needs to be connected to the internet when linking a new device. However, once linked, the companion devices can remain connected even if your primary phone is offline for a period (up to 14 days of inactivity).
For security reasons, it's good practice to regularly check your linked devices (via the "Linked devices" menu on your primary phone) and remove any devices you don't recognize.
Certain features, such as viewing live location and creating broadcast lists, might not be available on linked devices.
You can log out of linked devices individually from your primary phone by tapping on the device in the "Linked devices" list and selecting "Log out".
You cannot use a linked device as the primary device for a WhatsApp account. The primary account always resides on your phone, associated with your phone number.
By utilizing the "Linked Devices" feature, WhatsApp provides a convenient way to stay connected across multiple devices without the need to constantly log in and out or manage multiple accounts. This enhances accessibility and allows for seamless communication whether you're on your computer, tablet, or another phone.
