Link a device to Dixl

You can use Dixl on up to five companion devices alongside your phone. Each linked device gets its own copy of your messages going forward — it doesn’t import past history, though you can optionally bring up to 45 days during setup.

Supported devices

• iPad — using Dixl for iPad.
• Android tablet or a second phone — link it as a companion device.

Link a device

1. Install Dixl on the iPad or tablet and open it — a QR code appears.
2. On your main phone, open Settings › Linked devices › Link a new device.
3. Scan the QR code.
4. Confirm the link on both devices.

What transfers to the linked device

• Your account, groups, and contacts.
• Messages received after linking.
• Past messages are not imported automatically, but you can optionally transfer up to 45 days of recent history during setup.

Remove a linked device

Open Settings › Linked devices, tap the device name, and choose Remove. The device is signed out immediately; its local message copy stays on it until the app is uninstalled.

Troubleshooting

• QR scan fails — make sure both devices have network access and the phone’s camera permission is granted.
• Messages not syncing — check that the phone is online. Linked devices initially relay through your phone, then connect directly.
• Too many devices — remove one you no longer use from the Linked devices screen.
