It should work in the exact same way that the “Linked devices” function works. Both of your phones will need to be running at least WhatsApp beta v2.23.8.2 to get the ability to pair with your phone. Using the “Link a device” menu, you can pair using a QR code. All of your chats and group chats are synced across the phones you link.
That aforementioned function only allows you to link your PC, laptop, tablet, or selected smart displays. Considering this was first spotted all the way back in November 2022, it is about time that more people were able to test it out for themselves.įor those wondering how this mode differs from the ability to use the “Linked devices” function, effectively, you can link up to four phones at once.
Some lucky WhatsApp users have been able to test-drive the companion mode as part of the Android beta.Īccording to WABetaInfo, WhatsApp beta for Android v2.23.8.2 is widely rolling out companion mode to anyone currently enrolled in the program. While workarounds have existed to allow you to use your WhatsApp account on multiple devices using the “Linked devices” function, the “companion mode” is a baked-in function that will let you use your account across multiple handsets. After months of teasing, and then testing with a limited pool of users, the dedicated “companion mode” for WhatsApp is now rolling out for all beta users on Android.
