With over 2 billion monthly active users, WhatsApp is the most popular chat application in the world. The app offers a simple and intuitive user interface, notable features, and hidden tips and tricks that make it a joy to use. One thing that has been missing from WhatsApp's arsenal of features is an independent Android tablet app. However, with the new multi-device feature, you can now use WhatsApp on your tablet. So, if you want to use WhatsApp on your tablet, here is how to do it.
How to use WhatsApp on your tablet
The multi-device feature in WhatsApp allows you to use WhatsApp on five devices at once, including your primary smartphone. So you can use WhatsApp on your phone and four linked devices, including tablets, desktops, and WhatsApp Web.
The multi-device feature on tablets is in beta and only works on Android tablets. If you are not a beta tester on WhatsApp or use an iPad, you will have to use WhatsApp web to access your chats. We explain both of these methods below.
Use WhatsApp on your tablet using multi-device
The benefit of using the multi-device login is that your tablet WhatsApp app works independently of your phone app. That means you can receive and send messages from your tablet, even if your phone has no internet connection.
For this part of the guide, you must be a part of the beta program on WhatsApp. Also, before you proceed, update the WhatsApp app on your tablet and phone to the latest beta version, as the feature works on WhatsApp beta version 2.22.21.6 or later.
- Launch the WhatsApp app on your tablet and tap the Agree and Continue button. A QR code appears.
- Open the WhatsApp app on your phone.
- Tap the three-dot menu in the upper-right corner
- Select the Linked devices option.

If you are not a part of the WhatsApp beta program or use iPad, you can access your chats on WhatsApp using the WhatsApp Web app. It works the same way as WhatsApp Web on a desktop.
- Open a browser on your tablet and go to Web.WhatsApp.Com.
- Open the WhatsApp app on your Android smartphone, and tap the three-dot menu in the upper-right corner.

Use WhatsApp on your tablet
Since the new WhatsApp multi-device feature for tablets has been released to beta testers, we are hopeful that the company will finally allow users to use the same WhatsApp account on two phones. Many of us carry two smartphones simultaneously, and it will be great to be able to access our chats on both smartphones.
Use WhatsApp on tablet and phone at the same time
"If I get a new tablet or an iPad Pro, how can I use the same WhatsApp account on my phone and tablet simultaneously?"
Ever since smartphones were released and even I started to use smartphones, there has been a yearly rise in the number of smartphone users.
The present number of smartphone users stands at 6.64 billion people and takes up as much as 83.89% of the world's population. Out of this number of users, a very large percentage own more than one smartphone. Well, I am a typical example of such. There are quite a number of combinations, all depending on the user's preference.
Part 1. Can I use WhatsApp on tablet and phone at the same time?
WhatsApp is no doubt one of the most popular messaging applications globally. Quite a very large number of people make use of WhatsApp for personal needs or business needs. You see, the dilemma most WhatsApp users face is that they have more than one mobile device but have just one phone number for WhatsApp.
By default, WhatsApp doesn't allow users to have one account on two smartphones at the same time because of reasons best known to the company. Many users over time have found it very useful to use their WhatsApp account across various devices; hence there has been a continuously increasing demand among WhatsApp users for a WhatsApp account that can be used across multiple devices.
All these and more are the reasons many people seek to have their WhatsApp account logged in across multiple devices. And can one use WhatsApp on tablet and phone at the same time? Of course, sure!

Part 2. Use WhatsApp on tablet and phone with WhatsApp Web
There are many methods out there, but I will be giving you some of the methods that work perfectly.
WhatsApp web works mostly on PCs; some android tablets that use chrome browsers can make use of the WhatsApp web as well.
For readers who make use of android tablets, the first step to take is to navigate to web.WhatsApp.com on your chrome browser.
Next, open the three dots at the right-hand corner of the chrome browser and click on the desktop site option. Once the desktop site option is selected, the web.WhatsApp.com website is displayed on the android tablet just the same way it is displayed on the PC browser. It displays some lines of text with a QR code beside it.
Now, open WhatsApp on your first phone and click on linked devices; click on link a device; a QR code scanner is displayed; use this to scan the QR code generated on web.WhatsApp.com with your android tablet. After scanning successfully, the WhatsApp account is logged in on your android tablet through the chrome browser.
There are quite a number of downsides to using WhatsApp through your tablet chrome browser. One of these is connection glitches or breaks; also, it may send messages and receive messages in a way that is slower than it should normally be.
Part 3. Use WhatsApp on tablet and phone with Wutsapper
The heartbreaking question above made me wonder about the number of people who need to know how to spy on WhatsApp messages for one reason or the other. So now, you must consider using a proper WhatsApp spy tool that will not raise suspicion, especially one that will not require installing any app on the other end.
Another method for using a single WhatsApp account across various devices is through the use of a customized Wondershare Wutsapper application.
The application has multiple functionalities these include; transfer WhatsApp data from Android device to iOS device and vice versa, WhatsApp Web functionality, and WhatsApp message recovery functionality.
This blog post will be focused on the WhatsApp Web functionality of the Wutsapper application. The application is a smooth, convenient solution for WhatsApp users who want to use android mobile phones and android tablet devices or iOS devices at the same time.

How to use WhatsApp on a tablet
The modern user has long had several gadgets for communication.
And almost everywhere there are the same instant messengers in order to constantly stay in touch. But it is generally accepted that WhatsApp can only be used on a desktop PC or on a smartphone. While the tablets "remain in flight." But that's not the case at all. After all, you can easily use the popular messenger on Android tablets. And it's not difficult at all. nine0003
Unfortunately WhatsApp is still not compatible with tablets by default, but there are several ways to get around this limitation. Some of the possible solutions will require you to install third-party APKs, but there is an easier way.
How to use WhatsApp on your tablet
WhatsApp Web is the perfect way to use the messenger. The web client synchronizes conversations and messages with your mobile phone. To do this, your smartphone must be constantly connected to the Internet, but this should not be a big problem. nine0003
- On your tablet, go to the WhatsApp web client page to get started.
- After that, enter the application settings on your smartphone and find the synchronization point using the QR code.
- At the same time, this very code must be in the browser on the tablet. Point your smartphone camera at the tablet screen and the program will automatically synchronize your contacts and chats.
- You can now use WhatsApp on your tablet using WhatsApp Web. The only limitation is that the web client is essentially a mirror of what is on your phone and cannot be used offline. nine0014
Using WhatsApp as a standalone application on a tablet
If for some reason the WhatsApp web client doesn't work for you, there is another, but more complicated way.
- First, download the WhatsApp APK from a third party site.
- Please note that if you have downloaded the application in this way, you will not receive automatic updates as you receive them through the Play Store on your smartphone. So you will need to check the repository from time to time and reinstall the program manually.
nine0014 - After downloading the WhatsApp APK, you will need to make sure that your system allows you to install applications from unknown sources.
- To do this, you must allow installation from unknown sources, but after installing WhatsApp, be sure to go back and re-enable the setting in the security settings so that your phone is not vulnerable to malware attacks.
- After installing WhatsApp on your tablet, open the app.
- After you agree to the terms of use for WhatsApp, you will be greeted with an error message stating that your device is not supported. Just click on OK and go to the next item. nine0014
- Now you will be asked to enter your mobile phone number (yes, you can't do without a phone, since a verification code will come to it).
- After receiving the code and activating the device, WhatsApp will synchronize your contacts. They will include only those subscribers who also have an installed messenger.
- Once the synchronization is completed, you can fully use WhatsApp on your Android tablet.

So, when you try to install Whatsapp on a tablet , the error "Not supported on your device" appears.
In fact, the problem is not in your device, but in the restrictions imposed by Whatsapp manufacturers. This is what they write:
" We support all Android phones as long as they meet the following requirements:
Your Android is running Android OS 2.1 or later.
Your Android is capable of receiving SMS or calls during the verification process.0154
We do not currently support tablets or only Wi-Fi devices.

But this limitation can be bypassed, i.e. you can install Whatsapp on your tablet, even if the tablet does not support GSM (no SIM card).
