Link Multiple Devices: Arattai on Mobile, Web, and Desktop

Link Multiple Devices

About Multi-Device Support

Arattai operates on a secure cloud-based infrastructure, enabling you to link your account to multiple devices simultaneously. This means your chats, contacts, and settings are synced across all your connected devices, allowing you to seamlessly continue conversations from wherever you are. 
Note: 
  • You can link up to 5 devices to your Arattai account. If you reach this limit and wish to link a new device, you will need to log out or terminate one of your currently linked devices first.
  • Message and call notifications will be sent to all linked devices. You can control notification settings locally on each device's settings.  

Prerequisites  

  • Stable Internet: A stable internet connection is required for smooth functioning and real-time syncing across all linked devices.
  • Supported OS: Arattai requires Android OS 6.0 or later, or iOS 14.0 or later.
  • Permissions: Ensure your device allows Arattai to access Camera.
