WhatsApp is expanding its multi-device functionality, allowing users to access their account from up to four phones simultaneously. The feature, which has been in testing since 2021, will be available to all WhatsApp users in the coming weeks.
To use the feature, users can tap on the “link to existing account” button when installing the app on a new phone. They will then be prompted to scan a QR code on their primary phone, which can be found in the “Linked Devices” section of the Settings menu. Alternatively, WhatsApp will be rolling out a new, more accessible method for linking companion devices, which will involve using the platform’s web client to send a one-time code to the phone being added to the account.
