Now, before we get started, let’s address the elephant in the room: Yes, I know what you’re thinking, “Why would anyone need to use WhatsApp on multiple phones at the same time? Are they running some kind of undercover spy operation?” Well, maybe they are, but that’s not the point. The point is, sometimes we need to be able to access our WhatsApp conversations on multiple devices, whether it’s for work or personal reasons. And let’s face it, with so many devices and so little time, it’s easy to get confused and overwhelmed.

The steps on how we can access the same WhatsApp account on multiple devices are as follows:
1. First of all, you will need to determine which device will be your primary device to access WhatsApp and which will be your secondary device.

Here you do not have to enter your number but go to the top right corner of the screen where three dots are available. Tap on the three dots icon and you see the option called “Link to existing account”. Now click on it.
5. Afterward, jump into your primary device and open your WhatsApp account settings. In the settings, you need to tap on the option “Linked Devices”.
6. After the above step, you need to tap OK after that tap on “Link a device” and click again OK on all prompts shown on the screen.
Finally, scan your secondary phone QR code in the primary device. After scanning is completed all your messages will sync on all your devices.
Conditions before using these methods:
1. You need to log out of all other accounts on secondary devices to use your single account them.
2. If the primary device is off for 14 days you will be logged out of all other secondary phones.
3. Only the last year’s messages will be synced from primary devices to secondary devices.

Verdicts
Well, if you’re thinking of using the same WhatsApp account on multiple phones, you better be ready for chaos! It’s like trying to juggle five flaming torches while riding a unicycle. It might sound impressive, but in reality, it’s a disaster waiting to happen.
Sure, there are some tricks you can try, like using WhatsApp Web or cloning your SIM card, but let’s face it – they’re like putting a Band-Aid on a broken leg. It might work for a little while, but eventually, it will fall apart.
And let’s not forget the confusion it can cause. Imagine sending a message to your friend about meeting up for coffee, only to realize later that you accidentally sent it to your mom, your boss, and your ex-girlfriend all at the same time. Talk about awkward!
So, unless you’re a master at multitasking and have nerves of steel, it’s best to just stick to using WhatsApp on one phone at a time. Trust us, your sanity will thank you for it.
