O WhatsApp is finally launching, for all users, the possibility of using the same account on several smartphones (up to four devices), even with different systems (iOS and Android). Until then, it was only possible to use your account on a smartphone and other complementary devices (such as the web/desktop version).
The news was announced by the CEOChief executive officeror executive director.”>1 yes Meta, Mark Zuckerberg, on its Facebook page. WhatsApp explained in a statement, however, that this feature “has started rolling out to users around the world and will be available to everyone in the coming weeks”.
In testing since 2021, the feature allows each linked phone to connect to WhatsApp independently, ensuring your personal messages, media and calls are end-to-end encrypted.
Now you can switch between phones without logging out and pick up where you left off. Also, if you have a small business, now more employees can reply to customers directly from their mobile phone within the same WhatsApp Business account.
Also according to the company, if your main device is inactive for a long period, your account will be automatically disconnected from all complementary devices in which the login was made.
Furthermore, according to information obtained by the The Vergeup to a year’s worth of messages will sync across devices — meaning older content won’t load on companion devices.
WhatsApp is also rolling out a new way to link devices using a one-time passcode, so that when you enter your phone number on WhatsApp Web, you’ll receive a one-time passcode that your smartphone must scan to allow your device to connect — instead of need to scan a QR code. According to WhatsApp information, this feature is expected to come to more companion devices in the future.
