Meta’s messaging service WhatsApp has started rolling out functionality that allows using the same WhatsApp account on multiple phones at the same time. This is obviously useful for those who have more than one phone or for businesses, organizations, and others who share the same WhatsApp account.

Previously, it has been possible to use the same WhatsApp account on a phone and a computer through a linking function. Now, the same linking function is also available for other phones. If you want to link an iPhone to a WhatsApp account that is already used on another phone, instructions on how to do it can be found here. If you want to link an Android phone, information on how to do it can be found here.

WhatsApp writes in a blog post that the new linking function between phones began rolling out yesterday and will be available to all WhatsApp users in the coming weeks. So if it doesn’t work for you yet, try again in a while.
