Hello guys, why do i get an error "Phone not connected" when i try to use WhatsApp Web? My phone is connected to an internet. I found out that when i click on "mobile data" off/on, then this error "phone not connected" dissapears. But it's really time consuming and annoying to always click "mobile data" off/on, so where is the problem that i get this error?

That's how WhatsApp web works. You need to keep your phone connected to the internet for WhatsApp web to work so keep your mobile data/WiFi on. WhatsApp web does not store your chats on the cloud, that's stored on your phone. The chats on your phone are sync'ed with WhatsApp messaging servers and they appear on WhatsApp web, your phone needs to be connected to the internet to do that.

Why not use the new "Linked Device" feature?
- Open WhatsApp on your phone.
- Android: Tap More options
> Linked Devices > LINK A DEVICE. Follow the on-screen instructions if your device has biometric authentication. If you don’t have biometric authentication enabled, you’ll be prompted to enter the pin you use to unlock your phone.
- iPhone: Go to WhatsApp Settings > tap Linked Devices > Link a Device > OK. On iOS 14 and above, use Touch ID or Face ID to unlock. If you don’t have biometric authentication enabled, you’ll be prompted to enter the pin you use to unlock your phone.
- Android: Tap More options
