WhatsApp is already working on improving multi-device compatibility, just a few months after debuting the function.
The impending feature was noticed in the current WhatsApp beta version by none other than WABetaInfo, as is customary.
According to the newest claim from the WhatsApp-focused tech site, numerous phones can be linked to the same account. In the past, there have been unauthorised alternatives with varied degrees of success and dependability, but the next upgrade should make it official within the app.
It’ll also be more reliable than any other unapproved approach we’ve seen previously.
A screenshot is included in the report to demonstrate how it will appear.
When you try to open your WhatsApp account on a separate smartphone, a screen labelled “Register Device as Companion” will show.
Simply open WhatsApp on the secondary phone, hit the Settings icon on the top right, select Linked Devices, and scan the secondary phone’s QR code with the primary phone, as directed by the on-screen instructions.
This will allow you to use WhatsApp on your secondary phone in the same way that you do on your primary phone.
It’s unclear whether the primary device needs to be connected to the internet for this, but given the functionality is part of the multi-device upgrade, we expect the secondary phone to work independently.
