WhatsApp is the most used messaging application in Spain, and with enough difference, according to statista data. Much of blame is the fact of practically everyone has an account in the app. This inevitably, so more people prefer to use WhatsApp instead of other apps in which they will not find so many contacts.
However, this is also due to the good quality of the application. Has many different functions that They go beyond sending and receiving messages, And that allow things to create surveys in group conversations, make video calls with several people at the same time or even follow diffusion channels to be aware of the latest news of companies and sports institutions, for example.
The free android
One of the things is characterized by application is the constant search for novelties to offer users who use it daily. One of the most anticipated, for years, has even been the possibility of using the same WhatsApp account on several different devices.
The company already had a web version in even a computer application thanks to which it was possible write and receive messages without having to use the mobile at all. However, it could not be used in several mobiles at the same time, a claim that the company has finally fulfilled by enabling this possibility.
Now, WhatsApp can be used in many different ways and in several devices, but it is true that there are some important data that is necessary to know to get the most out of this function of the app.
WhatsApp on several mobiles
Yes, Mark Zuckerberg’s messaging application can now be used in several smartphones at the same time and simultaneously, but it is necessary to take into account some considerations, since otherwise You can even lose some conversations. The first thing to know is that the first smartphone in which the phone number is introduced to log in will be the main phone.
This device is the one that has all the chats and attached files saved in its internal memory, and it is from which the backups are made. This makes it the most important device of all, since It is the one that the rest will depend. The use of WhatsApp on several devices is not symmetrically, but there is a main device to which the rest are linked.
That is why this main mobile must be the smartphone that the user uses daily. If there is any type of problem with the link or even if you want to change to another device or even eliminate the account, it must be done from it. Once everything has been configured, may even be off and the messages will continue to arrive To the rest without problem, since, in this sense, they work independently, although not as much as in Telegram, APP in which there is no main device above the secondary ones.
If you want to change the main phone, you will have to make a backup and start the WhatsApp app for the first time carrying out the initial configuration. That is, instead of clicking on linked devices, the phone number will have to be introduced and continue with the configuration, which will also have to configure the linked devices again.
Linked devices
Since launched this function, WhatsApp allows you to link up to four different devices to the account. Thanks to this, Users can have their open account in different devices They use daily to work, as a tablet, a second mobile, the computer and even a laptop.
This is also very useful in case the phone is lost, since it allows you to continue communicating through this route. To carry out the link, you just have to go to the main screen, click on the three -point menu and there give linked devices.
After this, a camera viewer will open so that Let’s point it to the QR code of the device That you want to link. Previously, in this other device, it is necessary to open WhatsApp and before entering telephone number or any data, and also to the three points menu and click on the option to link device.
There are a limit of 5 devices, so they cannot be linked anymore. Throughout this process, the login biometric factor must be introduced, so that it is ensured that the person who is adding a device is the person who owns the device.
