Can I install WhatsApp on both my computer and phone simultaneously - in detail?

-
WhatsApp Web:
- Open WhatsApp on your phone.
- Tap on the three dots (menu) in the top right corner.
- Select "Linked Devices".

It's important to note that WhatsApp Web and Desktop are extensions of your phone's WhatsApp account. They mirror conversations and don't have standalone functionality. This means:
- Your phone must be connected to the internet for WhatsApp Web or Desktop to work. If your phone loses connection, you won't be able to send or receive messages on your computer until the phone reconnects.
- You can't make voice or video calls from WhatsApp Web or Desktop. These features are only available on the mobile app for now.
- WhatsApp Web and Desktop support multiple devices, but each device must be linked separately. You can have up to four linked devices at a time.
