How to link your WhatsApp to four different devices on Android and iOS
Users of WhatsApp can now log into their accounts on various devices without logging out and back in. In 2022, WhatsApp will formally launch the function, which has been in development for more than three years.
Users are no longer restricted to adding only non-phone devices when using the multi-device feature; they can now attach additional phones to their primary device.
Now, you don’t have to keep your primary phone connected in order to use WhatsApp on up to four connected devices at once.
To maintain linked devices connected to your WhatsApp account, you must log in to your primary phone every 14 days.
All messages, calls, photos, videos, and voice recordings are end-to-end encrypted on all devices.
Connect a device
On the device you wish to connect, launch WhatsApp Web or Desktop. A QR code will appear for your primary phone to read.
