I have noticed that Whatsapp now has the option to link devices without using QR codes. It is now possible to use a phone number instead. Currently, this API allows linking by using a QR code. Has anyone tried or is anyone investigating how to use this API with this new linking method?

Describe the solution you'd like.

In addition to the QR code, it is possible to link a device using the phone number.

Describe an alternate solution.

WhatsappWeb still needs to read the QR Code. This kind of connection its only for the app

Hi @wilsinho8

This is very interesting especially when it comes to solutions that can be used directly on the phone itself, as there is no way for the user to read the QRCode that appears on the device's screen.
