To activate the Online (LastSeen) tracking of a number in the Online Monitor app:
- You must open this page from a computer or a device different from the one you have WhatsApp installed on so you can scan the QR code.
- Make sure you have received at least one message from the number you want to monitor in the last 7 days. If not, send them a random message and wait for a reply. (THEY MUST REPLY TO YOUR MESSAGE)
- Link the WhatsApp used to exchange the message in step 1 with the Online Monitor app, by scanning the QR Code from this page. (Steps 3, 4 and 5)
- Open WhatsApp on your phone
- Tap Settings → Linked Devices → Link a Device
- Point your phone at the QR code to scan it
- Now go back to the Online Monitor app and wait for the status of the number to be tracked to change from "Starting monitor..." to "Monitoring✅".
- (Optional step) Now you can remove the Online Monitor linked device from your WhatsApp (you will have to repeat all the steps every ~15 days). Or just leave it connected for automatic updates.
