You can use WhatsApp on many different platforms and different types of devices. Whether on the web or a tablet, Meta’s messaging app lets you log into the same account in several places at once. This makes it easy to check and respond to your messages anywhere, anytime.
If you’re using your Android tablet, the setup process is easy. You can create and register a new account or log in to an existing account. While setting up a new account is as easy as following the on-screen instructions, logging into an existing account isn’t quite as easy. We’ll walk you through the steps so you can set up and use your WhatsApp account on any Android tablet.
How to set up your WhatsApp account on an Android tablet
Before you start, go to the Google Play Store and install WhatsApp Messenger on your Android tablet.
1. Launch WhatsApp on your tablet.
2. Grab your phone and open WhatsApp on it.
3. Tap the three vertical dots in the upper right corner.
4. Select the Linked devices choice.
5. Tap the green Pair a device knob
6. Scan the QR code on the screen of your tablet.
You can choose to stay logged in or not, that’s up to you. If you ever feel the need to log out of your WhatsApp account on an Android tablet, it’s really easy. All you need is your phone and you can end that session remotely.
Get the most out of WhatsApp on Android
Once you’ve got WhatsApp Messenger all set up on your tab, all your messages and data should sync automatically. The experience is similar to WhatsApp Web, which can be linked by following the exact same steps as above. While the app isn’t fully featured yet, you can mess around with the settings and tweak them to your liking on your Android phone.
First of all, make sure your WhatsApp privacy settings are in order and also manage your online visibility preferences. This includes options such as read receipts and your online status. If you haven’t resolved them yet and have already received unwanted messages or calls, you can always block and report them.
After all that is done and dusted off, you can play around with the other features of the social media app. WhatsApp is available in many languages and you can always manually change the language settings of the app. You can also learn how to delete messages for yourself and others as it is useful in many situations.
