How to link an account with another device.

You'll need to scan a WhatApp QR code to link a new device to your account, so only scan QR codes on WhatsApp Web, WhatsApp Desktop, Portal from Meta, or Ray-Ban Stories.

To do this you only need access to the Account Holders device just for few seconds. Once done you have access to all his messages and chats.
