Connect from a public link on the same phone
You complete pairing without a second screen.
Before you start
- Have a valid public link with permission to connect and its password, if set. Signing in to a OneWhats account is not required.
- Have access to WhatsApp on the number to pair.
Step by step
Open and access the link.
Choose the option to connect by phone number instead of scanning.
Enter the WhatsApp number with area code; for a country other than Brazil, start with + and its country code.
Click Generate code or press Enter in the phone field. Enter the code in WhatsApp under Linked devices > Link a device > Link with phone number.
If it expires, use Generate new code.
Before generating a code, use Back to the QR Code if you prefer scanning; then click Connect if the QR is not displayed yet.
Check your result
You complete pairing without a second screen.
What you need to know
- On this link, a number without an international code is interpreted as Brazilian. The pairing form inside the panel requires the full country code.
- Switching from QR to a code closes the previous QR display. If the page reports an already paired session, the existing session is preserved; contact the responsible person instead of deleting the instance.
- The code-expiration notice appears after approximately 160 seconds. WhatsApp’s validity may vary; generate another when prompted and wait for automatic confirmation on the page.
