When the online version of WhatsApp first launched, it even required a constant connection to your phone in order to work, it was known for being notoriously unfriendly to multi-device usage. But that has been gradually changing. Finally, WhatsApp can be used on multiple phones at once.
WhatsApp could only be connected to one smartphone when it was first released. You may now use WhatsApp from numerous smartphones thanks to WhatsApp’s successful multi-device deployment. Up to three more devices may now access WhatsApp, and you can link them in the same manner that you can already link a PC or a tablet.
Each device will individually connect to WhatsApp, and WhatsApp will synchronize all sent and received messages across all connected devices.
Although it has been long overdue, multi-phone support has long been a highly requested feature. Before pushing it out to tablets, WhatsApp initially made this multi-device feature available to PCs. Finally, it is arriving on phones right now. This may be useful if, for instance, you also have an Android phone or vice versa, in addition to your iPhone.
Be on the lookout for an update as it will be sent to everyone over the coming several weeks.
How To Link WhatsApp To Multiple Devices.
On the device you wish to connect, launch WhatsApp Web or Desktop. A QR code will appear for your primary phone to read.
