WhatsApp has introduced its companion mode in India, permitting the use of the same number on multiple devices. Previously, a WhatsApp number could only be used on one device, with the option to connect a few more via WhatsApp web. The new feature allows linking a WhatsApp account with multiple phones, making life easier for those with multiple devices and aiding business use. The process involves installing WhatsApp on the companion device, opting for “Link to existing account” during verification, and scanning a QR code from the main phone. Messages will sync on both devices, supporting up to nine companion devices for premium business accounts.
