New Feature
This feature will in turn allow the users to use the same WhatsApp number or account on different devices that are not just tabs or desktops but smartphones as well.
Currently in the testing phase, this feature will be there with the Android 2.22.15 update for WhatsApp.
Right from iPhone to Android users of all stable versions shall be able to use this feature.

For user who are looking to keep their data on their primary device while transferring it to another device, this ability to sync your WhatsApp account will be useful.
However, currently it is only in the beta version that the feature has been made available.
