WhatsApp is one of the services Messenger service largest out there with over 2 billion users. But until now it lacked multi-phone support due to full end-to-end encryption support for chats y calls.
The company began testing multi-device compatibility in 2021 with select beta users.
At that moment, Meta said it had developed a new technology to sync messages between devices while maintaining end-to-end encryption protection.
Other competitors like Telegram y Messenger offered multi-device synchronization for messages, but did not have support for encryption of end to end.
In 2022, WhatsApp began making multi-device features available to everyone. But it was not compatible with several phones.

“Now you can get a one-time code by entering your mobile phone number in WhatsApp Webwhich you can use to pair devices instead of scanning the QR code on your mobile phone. We will make this feature available for more paired devices in the future,” the company said in a post on blog.
