How to link multiple devices to one WhatsApp account?

There are several ways of linking all devices to one account and Meta shall release more methods to link as well in the future. One of the methods available now needs the user to enter the phone number on the secondary device and feed the OTP received on the primary smartphone. Another method is to scan the code on the primary phone to link a secondary device.

Availability

The feature is available on both Android and iOS platforms. The best part is that the different devices can be on both platforms. Thus, if a person uses WhatsApp on an Android device, he can link the account on an iOS device as well and vice versa. Meta confirmed that the feature would be rolled out across the world in the coming weeks and shall be available for all WhatsApp users accordingly.
