News & Reviews:   multi device support

WhatsApp has been working on the multi-device support that allows users to use the same WhatsApp account on multiple devices. Until now, the messaging platform might be ready to roll it out to the public, as it has started to appear for some beta testers.

The Multi-Device feature for WhatsApp is perhaps the most useful feature the app has. Of course, the feature does have some limitations. Case in point, it doesn't allow you to link multiple mobile devices. But sources indicate that this could change in the coming weeks.

For a lot of Malaysians, WhatsApp is the chat messaging app of choice. It's a user-friendly app and has useful features like Multi-device. The public beta was made available to Malaysians just recently, but an update is already in development.

Yesterday, many of us found the PCs linked to our WhatsApp account suddenly unlinked. Well, that's because the company finally made an update to the Linked Devices feature. That's right, by now you've probably noticed that Multi-device is finally available to us.

If you use multiple devices, it's useful if your apps can connect across devices. That's what WhatsApp has been working on in the last few months. An update last month suggested that the Multi-device feature is coming soon, and we have an update on that.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has dropped hints about the arrival of a WhatsApp feature that most of us need. During an interview with WhatsApp CEO Will Cathcart, Zuckerberg himself surprisingly showed up and subtly told the interviewee that multi-device support for WhatsApp is in the works.

Changing phones between iOS and Android is always one of the most hassle things to do. Not only does it take a while to transfer all your media files, but the fact that you would lose all your chat history in your WhatsApp is super inconvenient. Well, that would change in the future because thankfully the WhatsApp development team is now working on saving chat history across different platforms!

WhatsApp has been quite busy over the past few months, coming with various updates such as accessing to Messenger Rooms and just recently, a "WhatsApp Pay" feature that has begun in Brazil. But that is just the tip of an iceberg, for in the coming months there will be several new features such as multi-device support, new search tools, storage interface and more.

WhatsApp is undeniably one of the most used social messaging apps in the world, but if there's one thing that everyone can agree on - the app is unable to support multiple devices with the same number or account. This happens a lot especially when Apple iPhone users switch to Android or vice versa, where the user will lose all the chat history and media files. But that could change.
