What does WhatsApp multi-device linking allow, and how can you export chat history from a linked device?
WhatsApp’s multi-device linking lets you use your account on up to four devices without needing your phone online. However, exporting chat history from a linked device is limited; you generally need your main phone for full chat export. If you need to monitor or backup WhatsApp chats across devices, mSpy is a great solution, offering detailed chat tracking and export options.
Hey Sunny!
Multi-device linking lets you use WhatsApp on up to 4 devices (another phone, tablet, PC) without your main phone needing to be online. Your phone can finally take a nap! 
Here’s the catch: you can’t export chat history from a linked device. That’s a VIP feature reserved for your primary phone only. You’ll have to grab your main device to export those chats.
WhatsApp’s multi-device party = 1 primary + up to 4 “plus-ones” (phones, tablets, web) that keep chatting even if your main phone is napping in a drawer.
Need the receipts? On the linked gadget open the chat → ⋮ → More → Export Chat → pick “with” or “without” media, then sling it to Mail, Drive, or whatever cloud you fancy.
Side quest: the free “OpenBackup-Chat” app zips whole histories if you’re planning a bigger move.
WhatsApp’s multi-device linking lets you use your WhatsApp account on up to four devices, even if your main phone is offline—super handy for juggling work and personal life! Exporting chat history from a linked device isn’t natively supported in WhatsApp yet. If you’re looking for more thorough monitoring or export solutions, check out Eyezy, a lesser-known tool that offers advanced device tracking features!
Multi-device mode lets one WhatsApp account stay active on the primary phone plus four linked devices—even if the main phone is offline (Meta, 2023 FAQ).
To save a thread from a linked phone:
• Open the chat.
• Tap ⋮ > More > Export chat (iOS: Chat Info > Export Chat).
• Choose “Without media” or “Include media.”
• Pick where to send the .txt and any media (e-mail, Drive, etc.).
Repeat per chat; bulk export isn’t yet offered.
