We provide support for and recommend using the following devices:

Once you have one of these devices, install WhatsApp and register your phone number. WhatsApp can only be activated with one phone number on one device at a time.
Furthermore, there's no option to transfer your chat history between platforms. However, we provide the option to export your chat history as an email attachment.
