How to set up message forwarding in WhatsApp from one number to another - in detail?
To set up message forwarding in WhatsApp from one number to another, follow these detailed steps:
-
Open WhatsApp on the device where you want to set up the forwarding: This could be either your primary or secondary phone. Ensure that both devices are connected to the internet.
-
On the primary phone (the one you're forwarding from), open WhatsApp and go to settings: Tap on the three dots in the top right corner of the screen to access the menu. Then, select "Settings."
-
Navigate to Linked Devices: In the Settings menu, find and tap on "Linked Devices." This option allows you to link your WhatsApp account to other devices.
-
Scan the QR code with the secondary phone (the one you're forwarding to): On the secondary phone, open WhatsApp and go to "Linked Devices" as well. You will see a QR code on the screen. Use your primary phone to scan this code. You can do this by tapping on "Link a Device" in the Linked Devices menu and then selecting "Scan QR Code."
-
Follow the prompts to complete the setup: Once the QR code is scanned, you'll see a message on your secondary phone asking if you want to link the device. Tap on "Link" to proceed. You may be asked to enter a verification code sent to your primary phone. Enter this code to complete the setup.
-
Verify that forwarding is working: After the setup is complete, send a test message from your primary phone. Check if it appears on your secondary phone. If it does, message forwarding has been set up successfully.
-
Manage linked devices (optional): You can manage your linked devices by going back to "Linked Devices" in the settings menu of either phone. Here, you can see all the devices linked to your WhatsApp account and unlink any device if needed.
