Have you ever tried to use your WhatsApp account on multiple devices simultaneously? It was not an easy task and it required some tricks. But all that will change. Until recently, a WhatsApp account was limited to use on a single smartphone. However, on April 25, 2023, Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, announced the lifting of this restriction. From now on, a WhatsApp account can be used on four different smartphones.

Deployed to all devices

This feature, available today, but already in beta for several days, will be gradually rolled out to all users in the coming weeks, specifies A press release from WhatsApp. So you can now switch between multiple phones without having to log out, picking up your chats right where you left off.

On the main phone, go to the Settings« Linked devices» and scan the QR code of the secondary phone. And voila. Your chat history is also synced across both devices.

WhatsApp also plans to introduce an alternative and more accessible sign-in method for paired devices. So instead of scanning a QR code, users will be able to enter their phone number on WhatsApp Web and receive a one-time code to activate the account on another device.
