Meanwhile, WhatsApp limits users to use their account on multiple devices. However, there is a workaround for that.

Conclusion
This is how you can use the same WhatsApp account on multiple devices, including Android tablets. WhatsApp allows you to link a maximum of four devices to your account at one time. If you want to use two WhatsApp accounts on one phone, go to your phone’s settings and check out dual messenger. You can also use certain third-party apps to use a WhatsApp account across multiple devices, but it comes at the risk of losing your encrypted messages and opening up to potential data breaches.
