About multi-device beta

The multi-device beta is an opt-in program that gives you early
access to try a new version of WhatsApp for Web, Desktop, and Portal.
If you join the multi-device beta, you'll be able to use linked
companion devices without the need to keep your phone connected. Your
personal messages, media, and calls are end-to-end encrypted. Learn
more about end-to-end encryption in this article. For information on
how we collect, process, and share your data, including to provide
the multi-device feature, please see the WhatsApp Privacy Policy.

Note:

  * You can use WhatsApp on up to four companion devices at one time,
    but can only have one phone connected to your WhatsApp account at
    one time.
  * You'll still need to register your WhatsApp account and link new
    devices with your phone.
  * If you don't use your phone for over 14 days, your linked devices
    will become disconnected.

Eligibility

The multi-device beta is currently available to people using the
latest version of WhatsApp or the WhatsApp Business app on Android
and iPhone.

Learn how to join the multi-device beta in this article.

Unsupported features

These features aren't currently supported:

  * Clearing or deleting chats on companion devices if your primary
    device is an iPhone.
  * Messaging or calling someone who is using a very old version of
    WhatsApp on their phone.
  * Using tablets.
  * Viewing live location on companion devices.
  * Creating and viewing a broadcast list on companion devices.
