- Access notification settings and customize tones for each account.
- Similarly, adjust privacy settings such as profile picture and status individually for both accounts.

WhatsApp's Companion mode, introduced in April 2023, revolutionizes how users interact with the app across multiple devices. Here's a brief overview:- Install or update WhatsApp on your primary device.
- Ignore the prompt to enter your phone number and select "Link to existing account."
- Scan the QR code displayed on the secondary device or use a one-time passcode.
In conclusion, these updates from WhatsApp offer users greater flexibility and convenience in managing their accounts across devices, catering to the evolving needs of today's digital lifestyle.
