How to use one WhatsApp account on two smartphones simultaneously

WhatsApp is the most used instant messaging app in the world today. And the makers of this app are constantly releasing new features in the app. But one of its biggest drawbacks or specialties is that WhatsApp cannot be used on a single phone with a single phone number at a time. Due to many security features of WhatsApp (especially after the recent introduction of two-step verification), it is not easy to run one account on two different phones. Because WhatsApp verifies the account only when you have an active phone number on your phone and if you do not have the number, it asks you to re-verify.

The same WhatsApp account usually does not work on two phones simultaneously. But today we will tell you a way by which you can run an active WhatsApp account on another mobile device very easily. Although the user interface of WhatsApp on the other phone may seem a bit strange to you, but it can still be used. For this, you will only need an internet connection in the other phone. No SIM card will be required.

1. First of all, open the web browser Chrome in the other phone in which you want to use your WhatsApp account. After this go to web.whatsapp.com.

2. In the mobile browser, you will now be automatically redirected to the WhatsApp home page. Select the option “Request desktop site” from the three dot menu visible at the top right of the browser. And after this the WhatsApp web page will open with the QR code displayed.

3. Now open the phone in which you have already installed WhatsApp and go to Settings. Then select “WhatsApp Web”. (Keep in mind that if you are already using WhatsApp Web on any other browser, then you will have to log out before proceeding.) After this the QR scanner will open.

4.Now scan the QR code shown on the second phone from your first phone (in which WhatsApp is installed and active). After this, the WhatsApp account will be automatically logged in on WhatsApp Web in the second phone. After this, you can use WhatsApp on two phones simultaneously.

But, it is worth noting that by adopting this method, you can use WhatsApp only on one additional device (except the primary phone with WhatsApp installed). And to run WhatsApp on another device, you will have to log out from one. That means WhatsApp active with the same number will not work on a third device.

Another thing to note is that WhatsApp Web is not a full-featured replacement for the installed WhatsApp app. So you will not get many WhatsApp features in it. You will not get notifications while using WhatsApp Web on other devices. And as we mentioned earlier, its interface is not optimized for mobile either. But for easy use and full view, you can switch the mobile to landscape.
