According to XDA, users who have updated to WhatsApp version 2.21.180.14 on their iPhone from the App Store, should be able to see the new option to use WhatsApp multiple devices support, via the “Multi-Device Beta” setting in the Linked Devices page which can be joined and left at any time. Users can also tap on any linked device to log out of that device. If you have updated your WhatsApp app on iOS to the latest version mentioned above, you can follow these steps to enable the feature on your device.
Step 1) Check your WhatsApp version to verify you have version 2.21.180.14 or newer.
Step 2) Go to the Settings tab at the bottom of your screen and look for a setting called Linked Devices.
Step 3) Look for a setting on the Linked Devices section called ‘Multi-Device Beta” and then join the beta test. This will not enrol you for the WhatsApp beta, only the multi-device beta will be enabled.
Step 4) You will be forced out of your existing WhatsApp session so the app can set up the new multi-device functionality. Once you log in again, you can use the app even when your phone is switched off.
