# Can I use Whapi.Cloud with WhatsApp Coexistence?

The number works in the WhatsApp Business app and in the official Cloud API at the same time. Can Whapi.Cloud be connected to it too, without breaking the official integration?

Yes. According to Meta's documentation, in **Coexistence** mode the number keeps working in the WhatsApp Business app on your phone, and you can still link additional devices to it. Whapi.Cloud connects exactly as usual — as a linked device, by scanning a QR code or using **Link with phone number**.

* **Coexistence is enabled by Meta through your BSP.** Whapi.Cloud doesn't set it up, and connecting Whapi.Cloud doesn't affect your Cloud API integration.
* **The phone requirements are the same:** the app stays installed on the phone, and the phone goes online at least once every 14 days. See [Does WhatsApp API work with the phone turned off?](https://support.whapi.cloud/help-desk/faq/does-whatsapp-api-work-with-the-phone-turned-off)
* **When Coexistence is enabled, Meta unlinks all linked devices.** If Whapi.Cloud was connected before that, simply connect it again.
