WhatsApp, the world’s most popular messaging app, has been updated with many changes and new features over time. Now WhatsApp has introduced a new and very useful feature called “Companion Mode”. This feature allows you to use the same WhatsApp account on up to four devices simultaneously. In this article, we will learn in detail what Companion Mode is, how to set it up, and also discuss some other fun features of WhatsApp.
What is Companion Mode?
Companion Mode is a new feature that allows you to use your WhatsApp account on up to four different devices simultaneously. Earlier, only one device could be logged in simultaneously through WhatsApp Web and WhatsApp Desktop. But now with Companion Mode, you can access your chats and messages on multiple devices simultaneously.
Benefits of Companion Mode
1. Ease of login: Now you don’t need to login and logout again and again. You can use your account on up to four devices simultaneously.
2. Device Independence: Now you don’t have to depend on just one device. You can easily use WhatsApp on your tablet, laptop, or any other device other than your phone.
3. Sync feature: Your chats and messages will remain the same across all devices. Messages sent on any device will be instantly updated on other devices as well.
How to setup Companion Mode?
1. Update WhatsApp: First, update WhatsApp on your phone so you can get the latest features.
2. Add the device:
– Open WhatsApp on your main device.
– Go to Settings and click on the “Linked Devices” option.
– Tap “Link a Device”.

3. Login to other device:
