    📱 Connecting WhatsApp with a QR code

    This is the fastest way: it takes literally 2 minutes. We recommend starting here.

    Step 1: choose "WhatsApp" → "QR code"

    Once you pick WhatsApp you'll see two ways to connect:

    MethodDescriptionTime
    🔐 QR codeThe fastest way. You just scan a QR code with your phone~2 minutes
    🌐 WABA (Meta)The professional way. Through registration in Meta Business~15 minutes

    Click "QR code".

    Step 2: name the channel

    1. You'll see the "Channel name" field
    2. Type any name that makes sense to you, for example:
      • My WhatsApp
      • Store WhatsApp
      • Work number
    3. Below it there are instructions for scanning the QR code
    4. Click the "Start scanning" button

    Step 3: scan the QR code

    A QR code appears on the screen: a square black-and-white image.

    What is a QR code? It's a special image your phone camera can "read". Here it's used to link your WhatsApp to WazzaBee.

    Now do this (on your phone!):

    1. Take the phone that has WhatsApp installed
    2. Open WhatsApp on the phone
    3. On Android (Samsung, Xiaomi, Huawei and similar phones):
      • Tap the three dots ⋮ in the top right corner of the WhatsApp screen
      • In the menu tap "Linked devices"
    4. On iPhone:
      • Tap "Settings" (the gear icon in the bottom right)
      • Tap "Linked devices"
    5. Tap the "Link a device" button
    6. You may be asked to confirm (fingerprint, passcode or Face ID)
    7. The camera opens with a scanning frame
    8. Point the phone camera at the QR code on your computer screen
    9. The phone reads the code automatically: you'll hear a sound or see the phone screen change

    Step 4: wait for the connection

    1. After the scan your computer screen shows "Checking the connection..." with a spinner
    2. Wait 5–15 seconds
    3. A green checkmark ✅ appears with the text "WhatsApp connected!"
    4. Click the "Go to channels" button
    5. Done! Your WhatsApp is connected to WazzaBee! 🎉

    What can go wrong

    ProblemFix
    The QR code disappeared or went greyA QR code is valid for 20 seconds. Click "Refresh QR" and scan the new one
    The phone doesn't pick up the QR codeMove the phone closer to the screen. Make sure the camera points right at the code. Turn up the screen brightness
    The error "WhatsApp didn't connect"Check the internet on your phone. Close WhatsApp and open it again. Try once more
    There is no "Linked devices" itemUpdate WhatsApp to the latest version in Google Play or the App Store
    It says "Too many devices"WhatsApp allows up to 4 linked devices. Open "Linked devices" and remove one you don't need
    Important: the phone with WhatsApp must be online and WhatsApp must be working (not blocked). If the phone is switched off, messages still reach WazzaBee: that's how WhatsApp Web works.
