- Use your second device to scan the QR code on the site page.
- Await device synchronisation. On the second device, your conversations will be visible.
Use the same procedure to connect other devices. Up to four devices can be linked together, and as long as those devices are online, they will continue to be attached to your WhatsApp account. Logging out of the WhatsApp app allows you to detach the smartphone from the network at any moment. In contrast, if you don’t use your phone for more than 14 days, all of your connected devices will be logged out.
