The new scan feature eliminates the need to rely on additional applications and enables the use of WhatsApp with a single account on browser or desktop. The multi-device beta feature is currently accessible to individuals utilizing the most recent variant of WhatsApp on Android or iPhone. All you need to do is keep your system and WhatsApp version updated.

Know how to do it.
Now you can use one WhatsApp account on two Android phones without relying on the multi-device feature. The usual multi-device method allows users to use one WhatsApp account on more than one device. However, it only allows users to log in from a smartphone, computer, or an iPad at the same time. But you can do so via third-party sources named Whatscan Pro.

"Your WhatsApp account can only be verified with one number on one phone,” reads the WhatsApp FAQ page. If you have a dual SIM phone, please note that you still must choose one number to verify with WhatsApp.

For those who actively use WhatsApp, it is no secret that the service, for all its convenience and functionality, is still imperfect.
Many of us would like to have more options for functions to work with the application, for example, the ability to use one WhatsApp account on two phones.
There may be several reasons for wanting to use the same WhatsApp on two devices at the same time. For example, you have two smartphones, one of them is charging, and there is nowhere to power it from. Or just in different cases you use different phones, but you want to keep in touch with your loved ones using the usual number. Be that as it may, but the developers of the application, unfortunately, did not provide us with the opportunity to sit in Votsap from 2 phones in turn or at the same time, using a single account linked to a specific SIM card.
But, as always, there are people who can find loopholes in any rules. Thanks to them, we can learn how to install WhatsApp on 2 devices with the same number.
Some people are concerned about the opposite problem - if there are two SIM cards in the smartphone, the application can be connected to only one.
The article linked below will be very useful for them.
Read this article if you want to know how to download the second WhatsApp on Android and iPhone.
Can a single WhatsApp account work on two phones? As it turns out, this can be done in two ways.
The first of them is the simplest and, although it opens Vatsap in the browser, and not in the application, it is not inferior in functionality to the usual one. The second one is somewhat more difficult. It requires better preparation and certain knowledge, as well as the fact that both devices are rooted.
First you need to connect WhatsApp on your smartphone to your computer. Open the WhatsApp Web site on your computer.
How to set up WhatsApp Web can be found in our other article.
On your smartphone with an active WhatsApp, enter the application and open the settings panel in the upper right corner.
Select the WhatsApp Web option and use it to scan the QR code that appears on your computer screen.
For more information on how to sync whatsapp with a computer, see the link.
After synchronization is completed, you can log into your WhatsApp account using a browser on another mobile phone or tablet.
To connect WhatsApp to a second phone using this method, you will need to get Root rights on both your devices. There is no single scheme to get Root, you need to look for a method that is suitable specifically for your brand of device. If the rights are successfully obtained, you can follow the instructions below. The first in it we will call a smartphone with an active Watsap, and the second is the one to which we copy the existing account.
After the restoration is completed, the WhatsApp icon image will appear on the home screen. This will be a program identical to the one present on the first smartphone, connected to the same SIM card.
Video instruction for Android phones:
Now you know how to make one Watsap number active on two phones. You should also be aware of some of the features of using these methods.
The first option is different synchronization of messages from all devices connected to WhatsApp. That is, if you received a message, it will be displayed in the same way on both smartphones.
When using the second option, for all its convenience, there is a problem with this aspect.
The message will be displayed only on the smartphone that you first use to enter the application, and will not be displayed on the other. Receiving all messages on both phones is possible only if they are always online.

Today, many WhatsApp users are wondering how to install WhatsApp on two phones with the same number. Any user who has several smartphones at his disposal will agree that creating separate accounts for the messenger on each of them is inconvenient and impractical.
But is it even possible to use one WhatsApp account (whatsapp) on two phones (devices)? You will get the answer to this question from this article.
The number of users seeking to use WhatsApp on two phones is constantly increasing. There may be several reasons for this. If the battery is dead on one gadget, and there is no way to charge it, you can always use the second phone, which remains active. Or a person is pleased to use different models, but at the same time he wants to be in touch with his loved ones.
Despite the constant improvement of the functionality of the messenger, the developers did not provide for the possibility of using one account linked to a specific SIM card on two smartphones in turn or simultaneously. First of all, this is due to the privacy rules of this application. Everyone knows that in order to avoid stealing the personal information of its users, WhatsApp does not save correspondence anywhere.
All dialogues remain in the device's memory. The application takes the contact list from the phone's address book. That is why it is impossible to use one WhatsApp on two gadgets, because if an account is activated on a new device, all the information will still remain on the old one.
But, fortunately for everyone, there is a category of people who want to get around the rules. Thanks to them, it became possible to install WhatsApp on two devices with the same number.
Since a modern user usually has not only a smartphone, but also other devices: a computer, a tablet, and also another phone on which you can install the program from the official application store. To communicate and automatically exchange all profile information, use one account on all devices, there is a "Synchronization" function.
Synchronization option can keep all devices in constant communication and history updated all the time:

Can I use one WhatsApp profile on two mobile devices? As it turned out, yes. And there are two options for realizing this possibility.
The first is the simplest, does not require any skills (only a PC), so it will be useful even for beginners. And although this way you can log into your account through a browser, and not in the application, it is not inferior in functionality to the traditional one.
The second, on the contrary, is considered more complex and imposes certain restrictions on users. Therefore, some preparation will be required here, as well as obtaining Root rights on both devices.
The desktop version of the program allows you to install the application on two devices with the same number.
For this, WhatsApp Web is designed - an online service that allows you to use an account in the messenger through the browser of a stationary PC or laptop. It provides many useful features to work with the mobile application. To use one of them, you will need to perform the following steps.
From now on, you can access your profile in the messenger from any phone.
To use the second option, you need to understand what Root rights are. Having received them, the owner of the gadget has the opportunity not only to remove the restrictions imposed by the manufacturer on the use of the functionality, but also to change the entire contents of the root system directories. It should be remembered that by deleting or editing any important file out of ignorance, you can disable the entire system.
So, after obtaining Root rights on both devices, you will need to perform the following steps.
After the restoration is completed, the user will receive two identical messengers with the same account, and on different devices.

Some Android smartphone manufacturers equip their devices with upgraded and even completely revised software shells in terms of functionality and interface.
Among the most famous variations on the Android theme today is the operating system MIUI from Xiaomi and FlymeOS , developed by Meizu.
Using the above two systems as an example, we will consider the easiest way to get an additional copy of WhatsApp on a smartphone, but owners of devices from other manufacturers and users of custom firmware should also initially pay attention to the presence of a similar feature described below in their phone.
App Cloning in MIUI
Starting with the eighth version of MIUI, this Android shell has integrated the "App Cloning" function, which allows you to create a copy of almost any program in the system, including WhatsApp. It works very simply (shown on the example of MIUI 9).
We are waiting for the completion of the process of creating a clone of the program.
Software clones in FlymeOS
Owners of Meizu smartphones running FlymeOS, starting from version 6, can also be said to be lucky in terms of the ability to use multiple instances of Android applications on one smartphone. Many FlameOS builds have an integrated feature called "Software Clones". A few touches on the screen - and the second instance of WhatsApp will appear in the list of installed programs.
Tap "Spec. capabilities".
In fact, WhatsApp for Android is available in two editions: "Messenger" - for ordinary users, "Business" - for companies. The main functionality inherent in the version for a wide audience of users is also supported in the version of the messenger for the business environment. In addition, there are no restrictions for installing, activating and using Whats App Business by an ordinary person.
Thus, by installing the service client application in the Business edition, we get the second full copy of WhatsApp on our device.
Although these methods are easy to follow, many users still have questions. The answers to the most common ones are listed below.

And this question can be confusing. The fact is that WhatsApp does not work on tablets. If you try to install the program on the tablet from the official site, you will receive a message that "your device is not supported."
There are two ways to do this. The first and most obvious is to use the web version, as described above. Just launch a browser on the tablet and do as described in the instructions above.
The second way is for technologists. The messenger can still be installed on a tablet if you download its apk file from an independent site.
