[@sarahflanagan7259]

Thanks so much - this was a huge help in linking my non work Android to my WhatsApp. The written instructions online omitted the bit about clicking on the three dots!!!

[@vidmech09]

Awesome. I spent an hour going through WhatsApp website and several other sites and they did not explain this one simple thing; "Instead of entering your phone number, click the three dots".. thank you

[@Sherif_Mohy]

Thank you so much . helped me a lot , I had no idea before that I could do this, I thought that once I logged in on the second phone I would log out of the first phone

[@ramaswamynarayanan8069]

Very helpful. . Simple and to the point. i spend lots of time trying to do this and almost gave up. the instruction about not typing the phone number, but use to three dots was the key. in many hints that is not mentioned and I wasted lot of time. But, thanks to you it worked. Great that you kept it so simple and easy to follow step by step. Thanks a lot. 🙏🏻

[@ayindeabimbola692]

The 3 dots on my secondary android hp didn't reflect the "link device" until i uninstalled WhatsApp and reinstall it. Then it worked!! Thank you!

[@tuexss]

Yeah I don't have the three dots on my old iphone. But it is the device that has all the chat history. So should I move primary device back to the old iPhone, delete new Android, reinstall Android and then link Android? Can I still move primary device to the new Android?

[@lahirugayantha6595]

Its worked. Thanks.

[@odelllacroix5117]

Can verify reinstalling ublocked the link device option

[@TravisClark1]

Me too

[@randym5515]

How to do switch the primary device? I want the newer one that’s currently linked to be the primary device.

[@toshinrock1165]

I need to know this too.

[@somethingfromsomewhere5822]

If we make android a secondary phone. iPhone does show old chats.

[@pleanne8376]

no "linked to other devices" option before entering phone number on the second phone. actually on both phones. why do you have two options and we just have one?

[@ayoublaazazi523]

remove sim card from secondary then put it back later

[@deeeelishus]

Cam 0:32 needs to mention iPhones can’t be secondary devices

[@deeeelishus]

This has been updated. iOS can be a secondary device.

[@wilbertnatanael840]

​@@deeeelishusdoes it sync properly as secondary whatsapp?

[@deeeelishus]

@@wilbertnatanael840 It syncs with no issue. The only thing I’ve noticed is that you can’t post status from the secondary device.

[@medinmon5150]

Yes they can

[@Afiqa3004]

Does this works on WhatsApp Biz?

[@lokagraphity3804]

I’m looking for the same option but my primary phone is android et second one iphone so i wanna scanne from android toi iphone… Some help me please

suck.. still waitng apple store via whatsapp app to update the lastest whatsapp feature to link to other HP.. have been so many times install and uninstall but everytime when log in the 3 dots on top ringht not appear.. any idea to solve my problem..

[@NatalieEAUsen]

Very helpful video, thank you. Can it also be WhatsApp business on the second phone or it has to be the regular WhatsApp app?

[@micro-movement-il]

no answer for this?

[@Cthonia474]

Please what happens when you uninstall your WhatsApp from the primary phone. Does the linked devices also deletes the WhatsApp or it stays ??

[@toshinrock1165]

I need to know this too.

[@graciouslopezcrib]

How do I upload my status on the linked phone?

[@evychristinasetiawan6097]

Can this work for whatsapp for business?

[@Rocycle]

No sidetone self voice feature on the Sony's for phone calls is a non starter for me. Therefore the Bose are superior all around cans if you expect to take regular calls.

[@lahirugayantha6595]

After unistall and reinstall android app was worked. Ipnone 11 pro max and oneplus nord ce 2.

[@healer3878]

How many minutes it takes to link!!! Does it take long time??

[@evezhang1361]

Alright, to those who didn't see the "link a device" option. The secondary phone CANNOT have sim card in it when setup. You can put the sim back after everything synced.

[@DaytonPruet]

So, how is this feature supposed to work in US based iPhone 14 Pro models with e-sims?

[@DaytonPruet]

I turned the e-sim off in the Cellular settings and reinstalled WhatsApp and still no luck.

[@DaytonPruet]

I can confirm, an iPhone XR without a SIM card will show the Link a Device option on the 2nd screen after you click the Agree… option on the 1st screen. I guess e-sim iPhones are SOL.

[@evezhang1361]

@@DaytonPruet Too bad for e-sim user.

[@Monday97]

Thank you so much!
I had to remove the sim, then reinstall whatsapp on my iphone and then the option appeared.

[@utkarshrajput5871]
