WhatsApp may introduce multi-phone device 📱chatting feature soon
Popular messaging platform WhatsApp is reportedly working on a feature that will allow users to chat on multiple phones or a phone or tablet from the same account.
WABetaInfo found a screen in the beta version of the app giving instructions about the feature. The screen provides instructions for registering the device you are using as a “companion” by scanning a code with your main phone; however, currently, there is no actual code to scan.
By using the section called “Register Device as Companion,” you can choose to link your WhatsApp account to use it on another device.
The feature has been found in the Android version of the app, indicating that the feature will support chatting on a secondary phone or tablet.
Currently, it is unclear if the feature will also be available on iOS devices, and a release date of when WhatsApp is going to enable this feature for everyone is also unknown.
