WhatsApp allows you to use your account on multiple devices simultaneously, such as on smartphones, tablets, and desktops. This, though convenient, poses a risk.
If someone gains unauthorized access to your account on a different device, they could potentially read your messages, access personal information, and even impersonate you. Regularly monitoring the devices linked to your WhatsApp account is a simple but effective way to keep your account secure.
With the ability to access your WhatsApp account across multiple devices, it’s crucial to know exactly which devices are linked to your account. This guide will walk you through the process you can go through to see the devices that are linked to your WhatsApp account.
