Mumbai: WhatsApp is the popular social media messaging platform owned by Meta. Users can use multiple WhatsApp accounts on a single phone and a single account on multiple phones.
WhatsApp supports up to four companion devices, allowing you to use one WhatsApp account on up to five devices simultaneously, including the primary device. On all five devices, you can access messages and calls in real time. However, if you’re using WhatsApp Web as a companion device, you won’t be able to make or receive calls.
How to add companion devices on WhatsApp:
Go to web.whatsapp.com, where you’ll see a QR code on your computer.
On your smartphone with the primary WhatsApp account, click on the hamburger menu in the top right corner.
Select ‘Linked Devices’ and click on ‘Link a Device’.
Next, scan the QR code on your PC using your smartphone.
You can now access your WhatsApp account on the web browser. Alternatively, you can also link using the phone number by entering an eight-digit unique code on your primary device.
