Those with the feature enabled will find it in the WhatsApp account setup, which will show a “link this device to an existing account” button. Companion Mode works with up to four different devices. Once available, users will be able to receive and send WhatsApp messages using multiple devices, something you can already do with other platforms like Telegram and iMessage. Still, the feature should be available to most users in the next few days. I tried to enable Companion Mode on my iPhone with WhatsApp Beta (23.11.0), but I had no luck.

Right now, the latest version of WhatsApp available on the App Store for iPhone is 23.10.76.

The release notes for the latest WhatsApp update in the App Store clearly specify that users “can now use WhatsApp on multiple phones.” However, as noted by WABetaInfo, the feature is gradually being made available, so you may not be able to activate it even after installing the latest available update. After making the feature available for Android users, WhatsApp’s new Companion Mode is now being rolled out to iPhone users as well. WhatsApp announced earlier this year that it would finally let users log into the same account on multiple smartphones, as the platform has never allowed this except by offering the Web version that works only on desktop devices.
