Whatsapp App not linking to Whatsapp Desktop

not solved yet for this version

FYI - WhatsApp for Windows v2.2414.8.0 (MS Store version)

The same issue is with iphone 12 pro max too.

And no one from support either of whats app or apple is owning the issue.

Both of them is saying that they please reach out to other.

Está acontecendo comigo também, no meu Whatsapp, teno Windows e meu whatsapp no meu 14 pro não conecta de forma alguma. Tentei todas, só conecta no navegador.

É a mesma mensagem qe aparece.

Same thing for me..

switched from Android to ip15

but unable login thru WhatsApp Web app for desktop.

WhatsApp web on browser is connecting.

what is going on????

Yes I also did the same transfer whatsapps data android to ios. Is that problem because of that

Has anyone tried switching Whatsapp to an Android phone, using the "Link account" feature on the iphone and then linking to the windows app? Seems very cumbersome but wondering if it would work?

I have the same error, i am just using WhatsApp web now instead of the desktop app.

What can I do. I am having the same issue with my iPhone 15 Pro Max

This problem can only be solved if you are using that WhatsApp account without restoring the chat backup on your Iphone.

Same problem here. I tried contacting WhatsApp support, but it didn't go anywhere; they just referred me to some articles.

OMG been trying all day but very weird as 2 weeks ago no problem with the quick scan on new iPhone 15 plus to MacBook Air M1. However now WhatsApp personal won't link (just lost all on MacBook) however WhatsApp business is still OK.

Seems to be working from the QR scan (worked for me today)

HOWEVER: if you have the iOS display zoom setting in iPhone set to "zoomed" the WhatsApp [Link Device] button does NOT function. Need to set your display settings to "standard" for zoom level.

I hope that might help someone because it's a pretty obscure bug. Have reported to WhatsApp support, hopefully it gets fixed in a future release :)

Just to confirm same story here: changed from Android to iPhone 13 Pro yesterday, and WhatsApp desktop on Windows stopped working. Notably, WhatsApp desktop on my Macbook Pro does work, so clearly it's an Apple/Windows thing.
