Unable to Connect WhatsApp on iPhone 16 Pro Max to Desktop App After Switching from Samsung

Hi everyone,

I recently upgraded from a Samsung phone to an iPhone 16 Pro Max and I'm having trouble connecting WhatsApp on my new iPhone to the WhatsApp desktop app. Interestingly, WhatsApp Web works just fine, but the desktop app won't connect.

Has anyone else faced a similar issue after switching devices? If you've found a solution, could you please share the steps to fix this?

Thanks in advance!
