WhatsApp

I cannot link my phone to WhatsApp Web or WhatsApp for PC. It keeps asking me to scan the QR code and then will not finish syncing or downloading my chats but starts all over again.

When I try to link with my phone number, it keeps telling me the code is wrong.

I have restarted my phone several times and closed down and restarted my PC quite a few times.

Try this:

Set iPhone Auto-Lock on Never.

Start WhatsApp app on your iPhone.

Start WhatsApp Web or WhatsApp desktop.


WhatsApp on your iPhone: tap on Settings (bottom right).

Then tap on Linked Devices.

On the next screen tap on Link a device, at the same time, point your iPhone to the 'Scan' square / QR-code on the desktop.
