By now, you should know that you can access your WhatsApp account across different devices (like a phone and laptop). But now, the WhatsApp team announced that the multi-device feature is improved further by letting you use the same account on multiple phones.
According to the WhatsApp team, this new feature was highly requested by users. You can now link your phone as one of up to four additional devices, the same as when you link with WhatsApp on web browsers, tablets and desktops. Each linked phone connects to WhatsApp independently, ensuring that your personal messages, media, and calls are end-to-end encrypted.
If your primary device is inactive for a long period, we automatically log you out of all companion devices. With this, you can switch between phones without signing out and pick up your chats where you left off. Or if you’re a small business owner, additional employees are now able to respond to customers directly from their phones under the same WhatsApp Business account.
Additionally, the WhatsApp team is introducing an alternative to access easier companion devices. This lets you enter your phone number on WhatsApp Web to receive a one-time code, which you can use on your phone to enable device linking, rather than having to scan a QR code. We can look forward to it in the near future.
This new multi-device update has started rolling out to users globally and will be available to everyone in the coming weeks. Stay tuned for more trending tech news at TechNave.com.
