Some time ago it was announced that the WhatsApp 2.21.1.1 update would allow access to WhatsApp Web with the mobile turned off. Thanks to this, WhatsApp Web can be used with total comfort , without having to have the mobile on.
Months after letting us make calls and video calls on WhatsApp from the computer, users want more. We tell you how to start enjoying WhatsApp Web with your mobile phone disconnected!
Can WhatsApp Web be used with the mobile turned off?
As has been announced for some time, since version 2.21.1.1 of WhatsApp you can use the new multi-device mode with which we can open our WhatsApp session on up to 4 different and independent devices .
In other words, now you can use your WhatsApp on two different mobiles, even if one doesn’t have an Internet connection, for example. Similarly, your open WhatsApp Web session will no longer depend on the availability of your mobile session .
In WhatsApp Web, new features have already been introduced, such as the image editor or the possibility of hiding that you are online. It’s about time to have some autonomy!
As you have already seen in this tutorial to activate the WhatsApp multi-device mode step by step, you only have to link a device if you already have this function active. If you don’t have it, you only need the WhatsApp beta.
Using WhatsApp Web with the phone turned off is as simple as linking the computer where you want to have your session open using a QR code. It is exactly the same as logging into WhatsApp Web, but with the improvement of multi-device mode.
- On your mobile, open the menu from the WhatsApp main screen by clicking on the icon of the three dots that you will see in the upper right corner.
- Choose the “Linked Devices” option.
- Click on “Link device” .
- Verify your identity with your fingerprint or your password.
- Scan the QR code that will appear on your computer screen when you enter WhatsApp Web .
- Clever! You can now use WhatsApp Web without having to have your mobile on.
In addition, you can also have several WhatsApp Web sessions open on your computer very easily. Thanks to the news that this latest version of WhatsApp brings.
