# Add and manage multiple WhatsApp numbers
## Can I connect more than one WhatsApp number to Mr. AI?

The WhatsApp connection page supports multiple connections. When adding a number, you name the connection and scan its own QR code. Rescanning an existing connection uses its identifier so the QR is not generated for another number.

- Use a clear name for each number.
- Scan with the correct phone.
- Test every connection from an external number.

## How to use it

1. Open Settings, Connect, then WhatsApp.
2. Add a device or number and enter a branch or purpose name.
3. Scan the QR code from Linked Devices on the intended phone.
4. Wait for Connected status and test an inbound message.
5. Use rescan on the specific connection after a phone change or expired session.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does adding a number disconnect the primary number?

No. Each connection is managed independently unless you remove or disconnect it.

### Why name each connection?

Names help the team distinguish numbers and branches and avoid scanning a QR for the wrong connection.
