Here’s how you can use the same WhatsApp account and phone number on two different devices at the same time.
WhatsApp has made it easier for users to stay connected across multiple devices by introducing the ability to link a secondary smartphone to your account. This allows you to use the same WhatsApp account and phone number on two different devices at the same time, without the confusion of managing separate accounts.
Linking a phone is similar to linking WhatsApp Web to your primary WhatsApp account for both Android and iOS, and involves the same steps. But, before you start, make sure you already have a primary WhatsApp account setup on your primary phone.
To link a secondary device to your primary WhatsApp account, follow these steps:
- On your secondary device, open the WhatsApp application and go to the section where you enter your phone number.
- Tap on the three dots in the top right corner to open the menu.
- In the menu, select the option labeled ‘Link Device’.
- On your primary device, open the WhatsApp app and go to the ‘Settings’ menu.
- Navigate to the ‘Linked Devices’ section.
- Tap on ‘Link a Device’.
- Use your primary device to scan the QR code displayed on your secondary device.
- Wait for the devices to sync. Once done, your WhatsApp account should now be able to work on both the devices simultaneously.
