how to link whatsapp to another phone

To link your WhatsApp account to another phone, you can use WhatsApp's multi- device feature, which allows you to use the same account on up to four linked devices without needing your primary phone to stay connected constantly. Here's how to do it:

Linking WhatsApp to Another Phone Using QR Code

1. On the new phone (device you want to link):
   • Install and open WhatsApp.
   • On the welcome screen, tap "Agree and Continue."
   • Go to the menu (three dots on Android or Settings on iPhone), then tap Linked Devices.
   • Select Link a Device to open the QR code scanner.
2. On your primary phone (where your WhatsApp is currently active):
   • Open WhatsApp.
   • For Android: Tap the three dots > Linked Devices > Link a Device.
   • For iPhone: Go to Settings > Linked Devices > Link a Device.
   • Authenticate using biometric or PIN if prompted.
   • Use your primary phone to scan the QR code displayed on the new phone.

Once scanned, your WhatsApp account will be linked to the new phone as a companion device, allowing you to use WhatsApp on both phones simultaneously

Alternative: Linking Using Phone Number and Code (Currently for WhatsApp

Web and Windows)

• On WhatsApp Web or Windows app on the new device, select Link with phone number.
• Enter your phone number and follow the on-screen instructions to receive an 8-character code.
• On your primary phone, confirm the linking request and enter the code to link the device

Notes

• You must connect your primary phone at least once every 14 days to keep linked devices active.
• This feature supports up to four linked devices.
• The primary phone remains the main device for registration and linking new devices

This method enables seamless access to your WhatsApp messages on multiple phones without logging out from the primary device
