WhatsApp caters to a wide range of user needs, from using multiple WhatsApp accounts on the same phone to using a single account on multiple phones. If you need to access a single WhatsApp account from multiple devices, here’s a step-by-step guide for adding up to four companion devices to your main WhatsApp account.
WhatsApp supports up to four companion devices, allowing you to use a single WhatsApp account on up to five devices at once, including the primary device. You can access messages and calls in real time across all five devices. However, if you use WhatsApp Web as a companion device, you will be unable to make or receive calls.
How to add companion devices in WhatsApp:
To add a PC or Mac as a companion device via the browser (WhatsApp Web), you do not need to download the WhatsApp app. You can accomplish this by simply using a web browser such as Safari, Chrome, or Edge.
Go to web.whatsapp.com and you’ll see a QR code on your computer.
Click the hamburger menu in the top right corner of your smartphone while using the primary WhatsApp account.
Select “Linked Devices” and then click “Link a Device.”
Next, scan the QR code on your PC with your smartphone.
You can now access your WhatsApp account through a web browser. You can also link using your phone number by entering an eight-digit unique code into your primary device.
Similarly, if you want to use the same WhatsApp account on a secondary Android phone or iPhone:
Get the app from the Play Store or App Store.
Select your language and agree to the terms of service.
Click the hamburger menu in the upper right corner.
To add this as a companion device, select “Link as a Companion Device” and scan the QR code with your primary smartphone.
Remember that these QR codes expire quickly, so always try to add a companion device while both smartphones are connected to high-speed internet.
