Chesly is an independent app by Chesly, Inc. and is not affiliated with Apple, Google, Meta or any platform it connects to. Platform names and logos are trademarks of their owners.

Add chat apps in Settings > Connected Platforms > Add. Chesly supports WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, Discord, Instagram, Messenger, Slack, Google Chat, Google Messages, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, and Reddit.

WhatsApp

Two options:

  • Phone number (default on iOS): enter your number, then on your phone open WhatsApp > Settings > Linked Devices > Link a Device > Link with phone number and enter the 8-character code.
  • QR code: on your phone, open WhatsApp > Settings > Linked Devices > Link a Device and scan the QR code.

It’s the same multi-device linking WhatsApp Web uses. Your phone doesn’t need to stay online.

Telegram

Sign in with your phone number. Telegram texts you a code. If you have 2FA on, you’ll also enter your cloud password.

Signal

On your phone, open Signal > Settings > Linked Devices > Link a Device and scan the QR code in Chesly.

Other chat apps

For Discord, Instagram, Messenger, Slack, Google Chat, Google Messages, X, LinkedIn, and Reddit, sign in inside Chesly. The session stays connected as long as it’s valid on the provider side.

Notes

  • One Chesly install counts as one linked device. WhatsApp caps you at 4 total.
  • Chesly isn’t end-to-end encrypted: WhatsApp and Signal messages are decrypted on Chesly’s servers so they can appear in your inbox. Traffic to Chesly is encrypted in transit with TLS.
