News & Reviews:   multi-device

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. 

Multi-device support for WhatsApp with different devices exists already, but the WhatsApp team is apparently working on a second version of the multi-device function. It's said that the team has been planning this since last year and here's what we know so far.

Two months ago, the WhatsApp team was working on Multi-Device support and it's finally available. Well, sort of - although the function has been rolled out to both Android and iOS devices, the Multi-Device is still labelled as a beta in the WhatsApp settings.

Earlier this month, Mark Zuckerberg hinted that multi-device access could be coming to WhatsApp soon. The company had allegedly solved some related technical issues and planned to release the feature soon. Now, we have some more details on it.

There's no denying that while some are concerned about WhatsApp's new privacy policy, most will continue to use it. As such, new features that improve the app are always appreciated. This time around, the developer is working on a new feature related to chat history.

Based on a statement by wabetainfo.com, it seems that WhatsApp could allow users to have their account signed in to up to 4 devices at the same time. While there is no news on when this feature will be available, this means that signing into another device will not sign the user out of the previous device they were using.
