Sorry, I don't get it. So if I have WhatsApp on my Smartphone and get for example the Nokia2780 I will have a problem? I won't be able to use WhatsApp on both devices?

Yep.

By way of example, I have a Nokia 8110 4G, running KaiOS, a Samsung galaxy s22, and a galaxy tab s8 both running android. Previously I used the sim in the s22 to authenticate WhatsApp, and could use the tab s8 as a "linked device" through the app(s). I now have the same sim in the 8110 and I can use WhatsApp on that just fine, but there is no way to use it on the s22 or the tab s8.

• *Any KaiOS device will not support the multiple device linking** set up, because of how the OS works. So if you want to use WhatsApp across multiple devices you need Android.
