To add a PC or Mac as a companion device via the browser (WhatsApp Web), there's no need to download the WhatsApp app . Simply utilize a web browser such as Safari, Chrome, or Edge.

  • Navigate to web.whatsapp.com, where you'll encounter a QR code displayed on your computer screen.
  • On your primary smartphone with the WhatsApp account, access the hamburger menu located in the top right corner.
  • Select "Linked Devices" and proceed to click on "Link a Device."
  • You can now access your WhatsApp account via the web browser. Alternatively, you can link using your phone number by entering an eight-digit unique code on your primary device.
For Secondary Smartphone Users (Android or iPhone):

If you wish to use the same WhatsApp account on a secondary Android smartphone or an iPhone, follow these steps:


  • Download the WhatsApp app from the respective Play Store or App Store.
  • Choose your language and agree to the terms of service.
  • Access the hamburger menu located in the top right corner of the app.
