When the QR code is not linking, the issue is usually an old build or a time mismatch.
Steps
- Update WhatsApp Plus.
- Set phone date and time to automatic.
- Clear browser cache or use another browser.
- Remove old linked devices.
- Scan the code again in good light.
Still failing?
Some builds restrict linked devices to avoid detection. Try the next release.
