How to install WhatsApp on a phone and a tablet at the same time for one number - in detail?

To install WhatsApp on both your phone and tablet using the same number, you need to follow these detailed steps:

1. Initial Setup on Your Phone:

   • Make sure your phone is connected to a stable internet connection.
   • Download WhatsApp from the Google Play Store (for Android) or the Apple App Store (for iOS).
   • Install and open the app, then verify your phone number during the setup process. This will be the primary device for your WhatsApp account.

2. Setting Up on Your Tablet:

   • Ensure your tablet is also connected to a stable internet connection.
   • Download WhatsApp from the Google Play Store (for Android) or the Apple App Store (for iOS).
   • Install and open the app. During the setup process, you will be prompted to enter your phone number. Use the same number that you used on your primary device (phone).

3. Linking Devices:

   • After entering your phone number on the tablet, WhatsApp will send a verification code to your primary device (phone).
   • Open WhatsApp on your phone and navigate to the settings menu (usually represented by three dots or a gear icon).
   • Select "Linked Devices" from the menu. This option allows you to link additional devices to your WhatsApp account.
   • Tap on "Link a Device." You will see a QR code displayed on your phone screen.

4. Scanning the QR Code:

   • Go back to the tablet where you are setting up WhatsApp.
   • You should see an option to scan the QR code. Tap on this option and use your tablet's camera to scan the QR code displayed on your phone screen.
   • Once the QR code is successfully scanned, WhatsApp will verify the link between your devices. This process may take a few moments.

5. Completion:

   • After successful verification, WhatsApp will be set up on your tablet using the same number as your phone.
   • You can now use WhatsApp on both your phone and tablet simultaneously with the same account. Any messages or calls received on one device will also appear on the other.

Important Notes:

• Ensure that both devices are connected to a stable internet connection throughout the process.
• The primary device (phone) must be active and have WhatsApp installed for the linking process to work.
• You can link up to four devices to your WhatsApp account, including desktops and laptops if needed.
