WhatsApp has announced that it is rolling out a new multi-device sharing update worldwide. Further ensuring users' privacy, the Meta-owned platform says that with this update, each linked phone will connect to WhatsApp independently and all personal messages, media, and calls will remain end-to-end encrypted. If the primary device is inactive for an extended period, WhatsApp will automatically log the user out of all companion devices.
Step 1- Open WhatsApp on your phone and go to the main page.
Step 2- Tap on the settings section and select Linked devices.
Step 3- Tap on Link a device and follow the instructions on the screen to enable the feature.
Alternatively, you can enter your phone number on WhatsApp Web to receive a one-time code, which you can use on your phone to enable device linking, rather than having to scan a QR code. Here are the steps for QR code scanning:
Step 1- Open WhatsApp on your phone.
Step 2- Tap on More options > Linked devices.
Step 3- Tap on Link a device.
Step 4- Unlock your primary phone.
Step 5- Point your primary phone at the screen of the device you want to link and scan the QR code.
The update will reach all users in the coming weeks. Users can keep their device updated to receive multiple device linking feature.
