WhatsApp is expanding its multi-device support by allowing users to utilize the same account on multiple devices.
The same WhatsApp account can be used by up to five phones.
You connect every new phone in the same way you connect WhatsApp on web browsers, tablets, and desktops.
Your messages, media, and phone conversations will all remain end-to-end encrypted since each paired phone establishes its own separate connection to WhatsApp.
Furthermore, if your primary phone is inactive “for a long period” (WhatsApp does not provide a more precise time frame), you will be automatically logged out of all companion devices.

Connecting phones as companion devices simplify messaging. The option to switch between phones without signing out allows you to pick up where you left off in chats.
WhatsApp (also called WhatsApp Messenger) is an internationally available freeware, cross-platform, centralized instant messaging (IM), and voice-over-IP (VoIP) service owned by US tech conglomerate Meta.
It allows users to send text and voice messages, make voice and video calls, and share images, documents, user locations, and other content. WhatsApp’s client application runs on mobile devices and can be accessed from computers.
The service requires a cellular mobile telephone number to sign up. In January 2018, WhatsApp released a standalone business app called WhatsApp Business which can communicate with the standard WhatsApp client.
