How to use same WhatsApp account on two smartphones

• WhatsApp now allows you to use the same account on two phones.
• The new feature allows you to use the app on up to five devices at once, including two smartphones.
• Here’s how to add and remove your WhatsApp account from your second phone.

Meta-owned WhatsApp has been on a roll this month, releasing big features after every few days. After introducing Communities and Avatar, the messaging app has now introduced a much-awaited feature that allows users to use their WhatsApp account on two phones.

WhatsApp launched Multi-device support last year, but unlike apps such as Telegram, WhatsApp allowed users to only log in to one phone and four computers or tablets. The app did not allow users to log into more than one phone simultaneously.

With WhatsApp’s latest update, users can now use the same WhatsApp account on more than one phone.

How to use WhatsApp on second phone

To begin, make sure you are using the latest version of WhatsApp on both the devices.

• To begin, open WhatsApp on your second device and click on “Agree and Continue”.
• Now, click on the three dots menu on the top right corner.
• Now, click on “Link a device”.
• Then, open WhatsApp on your primary device and click on the three dots menu on the top right corner.
• Now, click on “Linked devices”.
• Now, click on “Link a device”.
• Scan the QR code being shown on the secondary device.

Your WhatsApp account will now be linked to your secondary device once the chats are synced.
