WhatsApp has finally rolled out a long-awaited feature that allows users to use the same WhatsApp account on multiple devices. This feature is not only limited to desktops, but now also includes smartphones, making it easier for users to switch between different devices while using WhatsApp. The feature is currently only available on Android devices, but it is expected to be rolled out to iOS devices soon.
Step 1: Ensure You Have the Latest WhatsApp Version:
Before proceeding, make sure you have the latest version of WhatsApp installed on both your primary and secondary devices. This ensures compatibility and access to all the latest features, including the multiple devices feature.
For Android Secondary Devices:
- Install WhatsApp on your primary phone if you haven’t already done so.
- On your secondary Android device, navigate to the Google Play Store and install WhatsApp. If WhatsApp is already installed, uninstall it and then reinstall it.
- Open WhatsApp on the secondary device, choose your preferred language, and tap on “Agree and Continue.”
- When prompted to enter your phone number, tap on the three dots located in the top-right corner of the screen, and then select “Link a device.”
- Switch to your primary device and launch WhatsApp.
- In the primary device’s WhatsApp, tap on the three dots in the top-right corner, select “Linked devices.”
- Tap on the “+” icon to add a new device.
- Scan the QR code displayed on the secondary device using the primary device’s camera.
- Once the QR code is successfully scanned, the secondary Android device will be linked to your WhatsApp account.
For iPhone Secondary Devices:
- Open WhatsApp on the secondary iPhone and attempt to sign up or log in.
- Below the login box, tap on the option “Link this device.”
- WhatsApp will display a QR code on the screen of the secondary iPhone.
- Take your primary device and open WhatsApp.
- In the primary device’s WhatsApp, tap on the “Settings” tab at the bottom-right corner.
- Select “Linked Devices” from the menu.
- Tap on the “+” icon to add a new device.
- Use the primary device’s camera to scan the QR code displayed on the screen of the secondary iPhone.
- Wait for the chat screen to load on the secondary device, indicating that the linking process is complete.
By following these straightforward steps, you can enjoy the convenience of using WhatsApp on up to four devices simultaneously. Whether you have an Android or iPhone secondary device, the process of linking it to your primary WhatsApp account is simple and user-friendly. Stay connected, chat with friends and family, and enjoy the seamless multi-device experience that WhatsApp offers.
Remember, always ensure you have the latest version of WhatsApp installed on all your devices to access the latest features and enhancements. Now, with WhatsApp on four devices, you can stay connected no matter where you are or which device you prefer to use.
