For a long time, one of the aspects that has given the most headaches to users of WhatsApp is the inability to use this service in two places at the same time The company behind the app had always focused on its use associated with a SIM card, so we always had to go back to configure the app when we changed phones. This iron strategy was greatly relaxed with the launch of WhatsApp Web, a page that can be opened in any browser on your PC and make us chat comfortably on the keyboard without the need to constantly look at the mobile.But... how can we use our same WhatsApp account on two mobile phones, on a mobile phone and a tablet or on two tablets (one of them with a SIM slot)? We will tell you a few simple steps that will surely be very useful in your use of WhatsApp.
When WhatsApp Web was unveiled, it made millions of WhatsApp users happy (I consider myself a fan of WhatsApp Web). At last there was the possibility of using the most popular chat tool in the world directly from the PC, with the convenience of using a keyboard. This platform now also gives us the possibility of using the same WhatsApp account on two different mobile devices, such as a mobile phone and a tablet, two mobile phones or two tablets. In either case, one of these devices must have a SIM card with the phone number to which we have associated our WhatsApp.
The process is very simple. We take the device that does not have the SIM card inserted and we go to the application of Chrome We have tried this trick with the Android app, although in principle there should be no problem doing it also in the app on the l iPhone or the iPad. Within the browser we must look for WhatsApp Web (https://web.whatsapp.com) By default, we will see a window that wants to automatically redirect us to download the WhatsApp app for Android or other platforms.
And this is the key step. Within the web page, click on the three points placed vertically that open the browser configuration Within the options that open we are interested in the one that says "View as a computer." We mark it. The page should update automatically and show us a QR code in the central part (precisely, the same thing that would happen if we opened the page on the PC). Now we have to go to the mobile phone or tablet with the SIM and the active account. Within the window where all the chats are shown, press the key to open the configuration (the three vertical dots at the top right). The third option should be "WhatsApp Web".
By pressing on it, a QR reader opens that we have to bring closer to the screen of the other mobile or tablet without SIM. And voila! Once the code has been correctly scanned, we will see all our open conversations appear on the screen, with the possibility of using WhatsApp on the other device without problems. Of course, we have to make a point here. Being oriented towards the PC world, this interface can be quite uncomfortable on a mobile (we tested it on a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and the result was debatable).However, on a larger device such as an 8-inch tablet the experience is very comfortable and really worth it for users who constantly switch devices on home.
