  5. Verify Synchronization:

    • Check if all your chats and contacts are visible on your TV screen.
    • Send a test message or make a call to ensure everything is working correctly.

  6. Optimize Your Experience:

    • Ensure your TV’s microphone and camera (if available) are set up properly for calls.
    • Adjust the volume and display settings according to your preference for an optimal viewing experience.

  7. Troubleshooting Tips:

    • If you encounter any issues, try restarting both your TV and the secondary device.
    • Ensure that both devices are connected to a stable internet connection.
    • Check if there are any software updates available for WhatsApp or your TV’s operating system.
