Mobile Instances

Mobile instances work like a real phone for WhatsApp — no emulator or physical device required. Instead of being connected as a secondary device, like in the case of a web instance, it is the primary device. This means that when using a mobile instance, the number will be unlinked from WhatsApp on the physical phone. However, it is still possible to integrate normally with services, systems, and automations to monitor and manage conversations.
