A quick guide on how to use one WhatsApp number on two mobile phones.
By Ankita Garg: WhatsApp is rolling out a new feature that allows people to use one WhatsApp number on two mobile phones. This is an expansion of the current Linked devices feature that was launched earlier this year. However, the latest update is currently only available for beta testers of the platforms. It is yet to come to the stable version of WhatsApp and the company could make it available for everyone in the coming months.

Currently, all WhatsApp users can access their existing account only on one smartphone and people are allowed to link up to four other devices like laptops, and tablets. Now that the company is planning to let people log in to one WhatsApp number on two phones, it will make life easier for those who use two mobile phones.
WhatsApp will also provide a way to check how many devices are currently logged in to a particular account, to let people keep a check on log-in details. This will also give some sense of security to users and they don’t have to fear whether their account is being used on an unknown device. The good thing is, WhatsApp will allow people to log out from any device remotely, which you will be able to do using your primary phone.
People who want to try out the new feature of WhatsApp will first have to sign up for the beta version of the messaging app. While the beta program of the app mostly remains full, you can still try out your luck. Just go to Google Play Store, and search for WhatsApp app. Once you open it, you will see Beta program written on the page. If you see a message saying “Beta program is full,” then it means that you won’t be able to sign up for it.
What you can do is keep checking Play Store more frequently for the beta program.
For those who are using beta version of WhatsApp, here is how to use one WhatsApp number on two mobile phones
Step 1: Open WhatsApp app on your primary mobile phone.
Step 2: Tap on three-dotted icon, which is visible on the top right corner.
Step 3: Tap again on “Linked devices” option.
Step 4: Now, just tap on the “link a device” option, which will display a QR code on the screen.
-Once you sign up for the beta program, you don’t have to do anything else to activate it. You are already a part of it. Just open the WhatsApp app on your secondary mobile phone and log in.

-Now, tap on three-dotted menu icon, which is located on the top right corner of the screen.

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.

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. nine0003
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.

Can a single WhatsApp account work on two phones? As it turns out, this can be done in two ways.

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. nine0003

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. nine0003
