What you need to know
WhatsApp’s latest beta release on Android allows you to sign in to your account on the web without scanning a QR code.
The alternative login method is available now to a wider group of beta testers who downloaded the latest beta version of WhatsApp.
You’ll see the new option when you try to link your account to your PC, with a new button showing up below the QR code scanner.
Meta has given WhatsApp a steady stream of updates over the past few years, with the ability to sign in to multiple devices being a key focus. The messaging platform is now experimenting with a new login method on the web that does not require scanning a QR code.
Previously, users would have to link their account with the web version through a QR code. However, they can now easily link the account with their phone number.
Users will find a new option when attempting to link a new device. They can link a device with their “primary account phone number” and a “one-time code generated by WhatsApp Web”.
For that, you need to open WhatsApp Web on the desktop device you wish to link and then select the “link with phone number” option.
“After entering your phone number along with your country, you should be prompted with an 8-character code that you need to enter into WhatsApp after receiving a notification,” the WhatsApp watcher added.
