WhatsApp has introduced a new option that enables users to log into the same WhatsApp account on multiple devices, making it easier to stay connected with your WhatsApp chats.
As you can see in these examples, the update will enable you to use the same WhatsApp account on multiple devices, so you can keep chatting even when you switch.
As WhatsApp explains:
“It’s a feature that users have been asking for, and now you can link your phone as one of up to four additional devices, just like you can when you link WhatsApp on web browsers, tablets and desktops. Every linked phone Both independently connect to WhatsApp, ensuring your personal messages, media and calls are end-to-end encrypted, and we automatically log you out of all companion devices if your primary device is inactive for prolonged periods of time.
This will provide more capacity to keep you connected via WhatsApp without having to switch logins when you change devices.
This could be particularly beneficial to business owners, WhatsApp notes, as it allows multiple employees to log into the same WhatsApp Business account and respond directly to customers.
This is a handy update and, as WhatsApp says, a highly requested improvement in the app.
Apart from this, WhatsApp has also developed another way to link to companion devices.
“Now, you can enter your phone number on WhatsApp Web to receive a one-time code that you can use on your phone to enable device linking without having to scan a QR code. We look forward to bringing this feature to more companion devices in the future .
None of these are game-changers, but they will make maintaining your WhatsApp chats much easier — and that could extend the benefits as more Americans switch their conversations to the app.
WhatsApp says the update is rolling out to all users now and will be available to everyone in the coming weeks.
