This is the usual application problem. If you have downloaded the APK or the official version of the application from the Play Store, then you are facing a complex situation. Since it can only be used on one of the two devices. WhatsApp makes you choose between using the app on a tablet or on your smartphone.

For now, a single account cannot be used on both devices at the same time. Something that is undoubtedly an error on the part of the application, as well as a huge limitation. But at the moment it's not something we can do anything about. We will have to wait for the company itself to introduce changes in this regard, in the near future.

In case that the web version of WhatsApp is used on the tabletthen there are no problems. The web version has been designed thinking that the same account can be used on two different devices. Therefore, if you want to have this possibility at all times, it is better to use the web version of the application. You can thus have WhatsApp on your tablet and on your smartphone.

WhatsApp announced that it was finalizing the details for a multi-device application, with which you could also enjoy WhatsApp on a tablet. However, details of the exact date are not yet known. If you go to the App Store or Google Play on your tablet, you will see that the application is not available as on mobile phones.

Although WhatsApp Web can already be used on several devices at the same time, it is not like that in the client app. At the moment, only some leaks have transpired in which reference was made to a multi-device Android version and a multi-device iPhone that could indicate an imminent launch.

At the moment, the only thing you can do is use WhatsApp Web or go to the official website WhatsApp for download the package for your operating system. So you can activate the installation from third-party sources, install the app, and then log in with your account. But this has a serious limitation, and that is that you can only use it on one device at a time. Therefore, when you start it on the tablet, it closes on your mobile and vice versa.
