How to Check Whether Your WhatsApp Account Is Open on Another Device

WhatsApp users can check which devices are connected to their accounts through the app’s Linked Devices feature, helping them spot unfamiliar connections and protect their messages.

To review the list, open WhatsApp and select Linked Devices. On Android, the option is available through the three-dot menu, while iPhone users can find it in Settings.

The page shows devices linked to the account. Review each entry carefully to see whether it belongs to a computer, browser or other device you recognise.

If an unfamiliar device appears, tap its entry and select Log Out to disconnect it. It is also worth removing devices you no longer use, particularly shared computers.

For added protection, enable two-step verification in WhatsApp’s account settings and never share registration codes or your security PIN. Checking Linked Devices regularly can help you identify unwanted access.
