Steps
Install WhatsApp on the second phone from the Play Store or App Store. Open it and accept the terms, but do not enter a phone number.
On your main phone, open WhatsApp and tap the three dots or Settings. Choose Linked devices, then tap Link a device.
The main phone with your fingerprint, face or PIN when asked. WhatsApp uses this to confirm you own the account.
On the second phone, tap Link a device on the number screen. If you do not see it, tap the three dots in the corner and pick it.
Point the second phone's camera at the QR code shown on the main phone. Hold steady until the code is read.
Wait while WhatsApp loads your chats on the second phone. Large accounts can take a few minutes on slow Wi-Fi.
Use both phones as normal. Messages you send or receive show up on each linked phone and stay in sync.
Tips and common mistakes
Link only phones you own, since anyone with a linked device can read your chats until you remove it.
You can link up to four companion devices, including a tablet or a computer running WhatsApp Web.
Check Linked devices on your main phone now and then and log out any device you no longer use.
The second phone keeps working for about 14 days without the main phone, so reconnect the main phone to that window.
Questions
Do I need the same phone number on the second phone?
No. The second phone never registers a number. It simply scans the QR code and runs as a companion to your existing account.
Will my chats appear on both phones?
Yes, linked devices show the same conversations and new messages sync across all of them. Older history may take a while to load on the second phone.
How do I stop using WhatsApp on the second phone?
On the main phone, open Linked devices, tap the second phone and choose Log out. The second phone is signed out straight away.
