The method of adding devices is very easy. First of all, open WhatsApp on your main phone, go to the three dots (or Settings) in the top right corner and select the Linked devices option. By tapping on Link a device there, you are ready to scan the QR-code.

On the other hand, open the device on which you want to run WhatsApp, such as WhatsApp Web or desktop app on the computer, and scan the given QR-code with your phone. Once scanned, the new device is linked to your account and messages and media appear immediately.

The good thing for those concerned about security is that you can see a list of every device linked on your phone. If you ever want to remove a device, just go to the same Linked devices section and tap on the name of that device and log out. This feature is especially useful when you are using a public or shared computer. Log out immediately after finishing your work so that your privacy remains safe.

Keep some small things in mind. First of all, the version of WhatsApp and the device where you are linking must be updated. Secondly, if you are logging in to a public computer, be sure to log out. The same old precautions still apply. And yes, end-to-end encryption remains in place, meaning your messages remain secure, but you should always keep an eye on the device list and remove any unknown devices immediately.

This feature is especially beneficial for those who work on computers in the office, or who have multiple devices such as a tablet at home, a laptop at work, and a portable desktop. Now you can continue conversations anywhere, on any screen, by pairing up to four additional devices at the same time. Just link smartly, remove unknown devices and keep updating. This small change in WhatsApp makes your daily convenience a lot easier.
