Whatsapp has finally launched the much-awaited feature where users will be able to access the same account on multiple devices.
This means that you can now use Whatsapp on as many as four devices at the same time!
The feature has been launched across the globe for all Whatsapp users.
Users of WhatsApp Can Now Use the Same Account Across Four Different Devices
The new feature will enable users to freely link any device with WhatsApp and ensure end-to-end encryption of messages, media, and calls, according to the Meta-owned platform.
All auxiliary devices connected to the WhatsApp user’s account will automatically log out if the primary device is dormant for a prolonged length of time.
According to WhatsApp, users will find messaging more comfortable if they link their phones as companion devices. This would allow users to switch between devices without logging out and continue conversations where they left off.
This feature will also be available for small business owners, where employees of the business would be able to reply to customers through a single Whatsapp business account.
Users of WhatsApp Web can enter their phone numbers to get a one-time code in place of scanning a QR code. Then, to enable device connectivity, they can enter this code on their phone.
The site, which is owned by Meta, released the new function just as it was stepping up its efforts to safeguard the privacy of its customers. In a recent update, WhatsApp gave its users the option to enable the automatic posting of their WhatsApp Status to their Facebook Stories.
Whatsapp To Introduce New Feature, “Channels”
A new one-to-many feature for information broadcasting on iOS named “channels” is apparently being developed by Meta-owned WhatsApp.
WhatsApp intends to rename the Status tab “Updates” in order to incorporate channels in this section, according to WABetaInfo.
This feature will be introduced on iOS.
A WhatsApp channel is a private tool where user information and phone numbers are always kept secret.
The paper claims that because the idea of one-to-many does not make much sense for channels, messages received within a channel are not end-to-end encrypted.
