And it is also more secure. If anyone but you tries to use your device to log into WhatsApp, they will not be able to do so.

This feature is one of the many that WhatsApp has been working on to make it easier for users to access the app. Last year, they were working on a way to use the Web app without the phone, and more recently, they were working on a feature that lets you use the same phone number across multiple phones.
