A single WhatsApp app will work on four devices; 99% of people don't know this clever method.

WhatsApp: WhatsApp now allows you to run the same account on four different devices. The process is simple, and security is maintained.

WhatsApp now allows you to run the same account on four different devices. The process is simple and security is maintained. This means your account isn't limited to just your phone. You can stay logged in on your laptop, desktop app, tablet, or WhatsApp Web at the same time. This feature doesn't just make it Twitter-like, but it also makes everyday tasks easier, like eliminating the need to repeatedly pick up your phone while working on your computer.

Adding devices is very simple. First, open WhatsApp on your main phone, go to the three dots (or Settings) in the top right corner, and select the option "Linked devices." By tapping "Link a device" there, you're ready to scan the QR code.

On the other hand, open the device you want to use WhatsApp on, such as WhatsApp Web or the desktop app on your computer, and scan the provided QR code with your phone. Once scanned, the new device is linked to your account, and messages and media will appear immediately.

For those concerned about security, you can view a list of all linked devices on your phone. If you ever need to remove a device, simply go to the "Linked devices" section and tap the device's name to log out. This feature is especially useful when using a public or shared computer. Log out immediately after finishing your work to protect your privacy.

A few important things to keep in mind: First, the WhatsApp version and the device you're linking must be up-to-date. Second, if you're logging in on a public computer, be sure to log out. The same precautions apply. And yes, end-to-end encryption remains, meaning your messages remain secure. But always keep an eye on your device list and remove any unknown devices immediately.

This feature is especially useful for those who work on a computer at work, or who have multiple devices—a tablet at home, a laptop at work, and a portable desktop. Now, you can add up to four additional devices at the same time and continue your conversation anywhere, on any screen. Simply link smartly, remove unknown devices, and keep getting updates. This small change in WhatsApp makes your everyday life much easier.
