How to use the same WhatsApp account on two different phones at the same time
1. Open the Web browser on the second phone that you want to also use WhatsApp on and go toweb.whatsapp.com.
2. On the mobile browser, it will automatically redirect you to the WhatsApp home page. From the browser options, choose "Request desktop site" (where you find this could vary from browser to browser) and it will then open up the desired Web page with a QR code displayed prominently.
3. On the phone that has WhatsApp installed and running, go to options/settings and choose "WhatsApp Web" (If you are already using WhatsApp Web on any other browser, you will have to log out before proceeding). It will fire up the QR scanner.
4. Scan the QR code displayed on the second phone with the WhatsApp app on the first and it will automatically log in with your account to WhatsApp Web on the second phone. You can now simultaneously use WhatsApp on two phones.
The catch is that you can use this method to use WhatsApp on only one additional device (other than the primary phone on which WhatsApp is installed) and to use on another device, you will have to log out from one.
Also WhatsApp Web isn't a full-feature replacement for the installed version of WhatsApp. You wouldn't get notifications and the interface isn't optimised for mobile use. You might want to switch to landscape to for a fuller view
One-time password For FACEBOOK
Logging in from a public computer? If you don't feel comfortable typing in your password on a
shared machine that might have malicious software, Facebook lets you request a temporary
one by texting "otp" to 32665. You'll get an eight-character passcode that works for the next 20
minutes and cannot be reused.
USE WHATSAPP ON THE WEB
To enable inconspicuous chatting on the web while you do your work, all you have to do is go to Settings and tap on WhatsApp Web. Then head to web.whatsapp.com on your computer and scan the QR code that appears using your phone. Commence chatting on the sly without downloading anything. Handy, and also very, very distracting.
TIE THE APP TO YOUR NUMBER
When you put your new SIM in and activate WhatsApp, you’ll be prompted by the messaging service to register the new number. But doing so will mess up your contacts list. Just ignore the pop-up or cancel it, and your WhatsApp should work linked to your old number, while using your new data SIM.
STAY SELECTIVELY NOTIFIED
Go to the significant group chats, tap on the name to bring up Group Info and then Custom Notifications. There, you can select a custom message alert for the group chats of your choice. All you have to do now is remember which alert tone you assigned to which group chat. This customization is only applicable for group chats though.
SEND PUBLIC MESSAGES PRIVATELY
On the top-left-hand corner of your WhatsApp Chats window, just below the search bar, you’ll notice a Broadcast Lists. Tap on it for the option to create a new list of contacts you want your message to go out to, and message away like you would normally.
