How to Use WhatsApp on 4 Devices: A Step-by-Step Guide

WhatsApp is constantly updated with new features to enhance user experience. One such feature introduced in 2024 is Multi Device Support, allowing users to use their WhatsApp accounts on multiple devices simultaneously.

Previously, users needed separate mobile numbers for WhatsApp on different devices. Now, a single account can be used on multiple devices, including mobile and laptop, concurrently.

To use this feature, called Companion Mode, users need an active WhatsApp account on their primary device. Let's learn how to use WhatsApp on four devices.

To use WhatsApp on a laptop, open WhatsApp on your primary phone and scan the QR code displayed on the computer screen. Follow the same process for the WhatsApp desktop application.

To link WhatsApp on another phone, install the app and accept the privacy policy. Tap the three dots in the top right corner, go to the menu, and select the option to link this phone as a companion device. Scan the QR code displayed with your primary phone.

Once done, your WhatsApp chats will sync, and you can use WhatsApp on all linked devices. Remember, the primary phone must always have an active WhatsApp account for uninterrupted service.

While Multi Device offers flexibility, it has limitations. Features like live location sharing and status updates are unavailable on linked devices. If the primary device is offline for over 14 days, all linked devices will be logged out.
