One of the main disadvantages that WhatsApp historically had with respect to alternatives such as Telegram is that we could not use it in several devices at the same time. That is one of the things that has changed in recent times, and we can currently use it not only in several mobiles, but even on tablets, Without having to depend on the main device. It is something that has been available in Spain for months, but implies a problem that we did not have before.
Since when WhatsApp was launched, and for many years, it was not possible to use it on more than one device, we always knew where our connected account was. It is currently possible to have it in several devices, so If we confuse we may have a device with access to our account that we do not remember. To avoid WhatsApp has a function in the settings.
This section of the application allows is know what devices are those that are connected, in addition to seeing the time of the last connectionin case we have not used it for a long time or if, on the contrary, we have had access to our account in the last hours. In addition, from that same section we can disconnect the different devices.
To see what devices are connected to our account We must have the main smartphonewhere we confuse the account. We cannot see it in a secondary device for security issues. In that device we have to open the option menu, up to the right, and select Linked devices.
A screen appears on which we can connect new devices and also See on a list those who are already connected. In addition to seeing the Operating system that uses the device in question, the time when our account was last connected to our account. And if we press on top we can close the session, in addition to seeing the location of that access.

The latter is very important because We can confirm whether it is an access from another city or countrySurely sign that it is an unauthorized access, and we can close the session on that device. It is a good idea to look at this adjustment from time to time, especially if we notice something strange in account or if we have to link our profile in the messaging application with several mobiles for work, not to forget what devices they have access.
