Has anyone gotten WhatsApp for Web working on an iPhone?
If you want to have WhatsApp on multiple devices you have to scan a QR
code from the phone that it is registered on in order for WhatsApp for
web to work. But it does not work on phones.
I tried following the instructions at
<https://www.techuntold.com/use-one-whatsapp-account-two-phones/> and
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZIezqkLIH4> but neither worked.
For Android I used this app
<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.qr.whatscan.whats.web.qrscan>
which got solved the problem, albeit with a lot of advertising unless
you ante up a lot of money for the ad-free version. But I could not find
a similar app for iPhone.

WhatsApp for Web allows you to use the same WhatsApp account on your
computer or tablet that isn't linked to a phone number, but NOT on
another phone.
The issue is when you have multiple phones or a phone with two numbers
(eSIM plus physical SIM or multiple eSIM lines).
WhatsApp doesn't want you to use the same account on multiple phones.
They also warn against switching your account between phones too often.
On Android, there's a workaround with an app
<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.qr.whatscan.whats.web.qrscan>.
See:

There were two Youtube videos that said you could do something similar
on an iPhone, but I could not get it to work.

they limited it to one phone. The other devices can be computers or
tablets. It's really useful to be able to compose messages on a computer
with a real keyboard.
Sometimes you want to use WhatsApp on a second phone without
deactivating it on the other phone, i.e. when out hiking or cycling I'll
sometimes use an old phone. WhatsApp warns you not to switch the phone
that its on too often or they'll discontinue your account.
I tried using WhatsApp for Web on the iPhone, following the instructions
in a Youtube video, but apparently WhatsApp figured out how to prevent
that from working.

It "should" also be trivial for iOS; but the problem is Apple's shitware
refuses to install on my Windows 10 system so I haven't tested it yet.

found free workaround apps that allowed me to do so by getting around the
WhatsApp Draconian rules on contacts as shown in this tutorial screenshot.

Perhaps you can find a secondary whatsapp workaround app for your issue?

Steve is often wrong because he takes only one datum out of ten and then

forms an iron-clad never-changing opinion based on that single datum.
However...
What Steve wants to do is perfectly valid functionality, where, as often
happens, what's trivial to do instantly on Android is difficult on iOS.
with Android, where many times I've found workaround apps for Android app
functionality limitations, and yet those apps don't often exist for iOS.

He'd never asked for an exciting life. What he really liked, what he
sought on every occasion, was boredom. The trouble was that
boredom tended to explode in your face. Just when he thought he'd
found it he'd be suddenly involved in what he supposed other
people - thoughtless, feckless people - would call an adventure.
And he'd be forced to visit many strange lands and meet exotic
and colourful people, although not for very long because usually
he'd be running. He'd seen the creation of the universe, although
not from a good seat, and had visited Hell and the afterlife.
He'd been captured, imprisoned, rescued, lost and marooned.
Sometimes it had all happened on the same day.

I think it's a great idea to be able to access whatsapp from a web browser.
It may be that Lewis is wrong because multiple people have said it works
for android but not yet for ios while others said it works for ios too.
I hope you all find what you're looking for as it would be an improvement
to be able to use whatsapp on a computer or on any device just like you can
with facebook itself.

Apparently that is not possible on an iPhone at this time. I tried
various ways and several different browsers, including putting the
browser into desktop mode. It may have worked in the past, based on
those Youtube videos that I referenced, but apparently not anymore.
The Android app that allows this on Android phones looks like it came
from India where WhatsApp is much more popular than it is in the U.S..
It's probably not something that Meta is thrilled about, but even if
they managed to get Google Play to remove the app it wouldn't help much
since there are many other Android app stores, as well as the ability to
sideload an APK.

The best option is to filter out the trolls on this, and every other

I'm fair and unbiased for everyone, where I defend anyone who is stating

facts outright, fairly, no matter how damaging it is to Apple's reputation.
Nor to Google's.
I don't think Steve is lying although I know he lies about those FCC maps
when he's shilling for Verizon, so I'm simply being fair to everyone here.
I think Steve tried it, and, Lord knows, I've searched for plenty of the
_imaginary_ apps that nospam constantly fabricates existing, so nospam has
no right to claim that Steve is lying just because nospam is ignorant.
In addition, even when nospam claims apps exist that work, he's almost
always wrong, as he was with the iOS NewPipe YouTube replacement apps.
My point is that nospam has no credibility whatsoever, and neither does
Steve, which makes it harder for the rest of us to figure out what's what
without actually running Steve's tests for him (which I could do).
As an example of how inept Steve is (even on Android) while Steve doesn't
even realize how inept he is on both iOS and Android, I ran a quick search
just now for ad-free Android apps using just the basic whatsapp web
keywords from Steve's original post (where he complained about the ads!).
<https://i.postimg.cc/prDxTsgt/whatsapp02.jpg> App store search suggest
I found plenty of Android apps which "might" do what Steve needs done:
<https://i.postimg.cc/d0pK9MFY/whatsapp03.jpg> App store search filters
In summary, neither Steve nor nospam has _any_ credibility when it comes to
adult cognitive skills in assessing the salient facts, where my point is
that for nospam to call Steve a liar is patently unfair given how ignorant
nospam often proves to be about the often crippled iOS app functionality.

Apple iOS is a walled prison garden compared to _all_ other systems.
Apple can (and does) restrict what apps users can install; Google can't.
Worse for Apple, even the Google Play Store has _zillions_ of these apps.
When I set the FOSS Google Play Store client to only show free and ad free
and gsf free apps, even then there are still _plenty_ of apps for Steve.
Note: Steve doesn't know how to use Android so he _always_ finds the worst
apps, which I wouldn't even mention except that he's so consistent about
finding adware & then he has the gall to complain about it as he did here.

Note: If you use the official Google Play Store client, there are no
persistent filters to filter out what you _really_ want; but Google can't
stop us from using a FOSS Google Play Store client that does filter right.

As usual, nospam is like the guy at the table when it comes time to put the
money in the pot where his hand goes into his pocket and never comes out.
The fact is...
a. nospam has no credibility whatsoever (he fails every bullshit test)
b. nospam will simply fabricate that apps exist (he's done that many times)
c. nospam calls every fact that he hates about Apple, a lie
Unfortunately, Steve has only slightly more credibility than does nospam
a. While Steve doesn't lie like nospam about what he hates about Apple
b. Steve is inept when it comes to finding apps that do what he needs done
c. Many (many!) times I've found _better_ apps than Steve can find, and,
yet, what shows Steve's huge flaws, he _continues_ to complain about
what he complained about in this thread, even when _better_ apps exist.
As an adult, I am fair to everyone here:
a. Lewis & nospam merely fabricated excuses (as always) for Apple flaws
b. Yet I'm not convinced that Steve properly did his homework either
c. While the others are perfectly correct in wanting this functionality
On both Android and on iOS.

If I actually wanted this functionality myself, I'm confident I'd have it
on Android (and iOS if it's not crippled by Apple) within minutes, without
the advertisements that Steve complained about and using the apps that
nospam is completely ignorant of (since he never backs up his app claims).

I'm fair to Steve... and to you also.
a. If you bullshit me, I call you out on your bullshit.
b. If you say something logical & sensible - I commend you for that too.
I'm fair to everyone, even as I chastise you more than most because you
have no credibility whatsoever given how many times I've proven you wrong.
And yet... you've never even once in your life proven me wrong, nospam.
Neither has Steve nor anyone else.
That's my strength over all of you.
My credibility is nearly 100% on facts. (1)

Neither you nor Steve has any credibility.
a. Steve lies about Verizon & Steve is inept on a smartphone
b. However, Steve doesn't appear to be lying in this particular thread
c. You, nospam, on the other hand, have no better credibility than Steve
You ate the food and then you won't pay for it.
That's the kind of unprepossessing person you are.
a. You claim the apps exist on the Apple app store
b. And yet, nobody can find them
c. Not even you.
It's why you lack any credibility at all.

LOL, how many times has he insisted that something is possible to do but
not explained how to do it because it's actually not possible? A hundred
times? A thousand times? It's a game that our favorite trolls love to play.
If it's actually possible to use WhatsApp for Web on an iPhone someone
would have come up with a method by now.
Some of the Youtube videos are misleading, i.e. "How to Use WhatsApp Web
on an iPhone" doesn't do what it says, it simply explains how to use the
WhatsApp app to scan the QR code on a computer that is at the WhatsApp
Web website.

a. More often than anyone else, nospam fabricates iOS functionality
b. Which is why it's telling that nospam claims Steve is lying
c. Given that nospam lies more than he ever tells the truth
> If it's actually possible to use WhatsApp for Web on an iPhone someone
> would have come up with a method by now.
_many_ times Steve claimed something was impossible on iOS or Android, and
yet I easily found how to do what Steve claimed couldn't be done.
As an example in this thread, Steve complained about an app that had ads,
but I ran a five-second search which showed multiple "possible" solutions
that didn't have _any_ ads (all of which Steve is likely ignorant of).
<https://i.postimg.cc/d0pK9MFY/whatsapp03.jpg> Similar apps with no ads
I don't blame Steve as he's not that much more ignorant than the average
person is, but I do blame Steve for not heeding the solutions often posed
in his very threads. It's a sign of chronic ignorance that Steve owns.
a. Steve will claim that something can't be done
b. And then I will easily prove (many times) that it can be done
c. And yet, Steve _continues_ to claim it can't be done
Having said that, I must commend Steve for using some of my solutions in
his document (which I do read), and in fact, Steve even "stole" (I don't
mind) some of my graphics for that document - which is one way that I know
Steve is reading _all_ my posts even as he said he is not reading them. :)

solutions, where my process, were I to solve this problem for Steve, would
be to do what I always do when I solve almost every problem that arises.
a. I'd search like the dickens to find tutorials on the net
b. If that failed, I'd search the iOS app store like I did the Google store
c. And then I'd test whatever solutions came up from those searches
I did this when people claimed you needed to have contacts for WhatsApp.
<https://i.postimg.cc/636XBckk/whatsapp01.jpg> No need for WA contacts
While I don't blame Steve for having perhaps a normal intelligence, it
takes a better than normal intelligence to solve problems when the app
maker (in this case, Facebook) doesn't want you to solve that problem.

My biggest strength is my credibility in almost never being wrong on the
facts, which is why I solve almost every computer problem I try to solve.

you refuse to acknowledge it because it doesn't fit your narrative.
it's also a completely bogus scenario since there is a native whatsapp

whatsapp for web is for devices that do not have a native app.
