WhatsApp is a popular messaging app, but it does have some limitations when using it on multiple phones. We’ll talk about this topic below.
Understanding WhatsApp’s Limitations on Multiple Devices
First, you can only use WhatsApp on one phone at a time. If you sign in on a new device, you’ll automatically be signed out on your previous device. WhatsApp uses your phone number as your account ID, so you can’t use the same number on two phones simultaneously.

Second, your chat history and media are not synced between devices. The messages and files on each phone are independent. If you sign in on a new phone, your chat logs and media from your previous device won’t carry over.
Finally, your privacy settings and blocked contacts are also not shared across devices. The settings you configure and the contacts you block on one phone won’t automatically transfer to a new phone when you sign in. You’ll have to set them up again from scratch.
The good news is WhatsApp does allow you to transfer your account between phones, you just can’t use them concurrently. If you get a new phone and want to move your WhatsApp account to it, you can restore a backup of your chats and media during the sign-up flow on your new device. Your account info, privacy settings and blocked contacts will also transfer over so you can pick up right where you left off.
Using WhatsApp Web to Access Chats on Your Computer
If you want to access your WhatsApp chats on your computer, WhatsApp Web is the way to go.
To enable WhatsApp Web, first make sure you have the latest version of WhatsApp installed on your phone. Then, open WhatsApp on your phone, tap the three dots in the top right, select ‘WhatsApp Web’ and scan the QR code that appears on the WhatsApp Web page in your browser.
Once scanned, your phone will link to your computer so you can send and receive messages right from your keyboard. All of your conversations and contacts will sync between your devices so you can pick up right where you left off.
WhatsApp Web makes it incredibly convenient to stay connected with friends and family whether you’re on your phone or computer. Why not give it a try? Your chats are just a scan away.
Enabling WhatsApp on Multiple Phones With Third-Party Apps
To use WhatsApp on multiple phones, you’ll want to try third-party WhatsApp mods like GB WhatsApp, MB WhatsApp or Blue WhatsApp. These modified versions of the app allow you to access the same WhatsApp account on more than one phone at a time.
- GB WhatsApp
GB WhatsApp is one of the most popular WhatsApp Messenger mods. To use it:
- Download the latest version of GB WhatsApp and install it on your phones.
- Verify your phone number on the first device. GB WhatsApp will then generate an authentication code to enter on your other phones.
- Enter the same phone number and authentication code on all other phones you want to use WhatsApp on.
- Your WhatsApp messages, calls, status updates and more will now sync across all phones.
- FM WhatsApp and Blue WhatsApp
FM WhatsApp and Blue WhatsApp work similarly. Download the app, verify your number on the first phone, and then enter the authentication code on additional phones to link them. These mods provide extra features like message scheduling, hiding online status and more.
Using cloned or modded versions of WhatsApp is against their terms of service. However, many users do find these useful for accessing WhatsApp on secondary devices or gaining access to extra features. As with any third-party app, use them at your own risk. But by following safe practices, you can enable GB WhatsApp on as many phones as you like!
