WhatsApp To Allow You To Use The App On More Than One Phone Soon

Key Highlights

  • WhatsApp is testing a “companion mode” for Android
  • With this feature, you can use one WhatsApp account on up to four devices at the same time
  • The update will be soon released to the public

Many WhatsApp users want to use the instant messaging platform on two more devices while still using the same phone number. However, since WhatsApp only enables one smartphone to be logged in at once, the same is not allowed. However, WhatsApp can be used simultaneously on a desktop and a mobile device.

Currently, WhatsApp is trying to make it feasible for users to use the Companion mode feature to access WhatsApp on two or more smartphones at once while using the same number.

The companion mode for WhatsApp has reportedly been given out to some beta testers, according to the WABetaInfo website which tracks the application’s planned features. It stated that WhatsApp is using some beta testers to enable the feature as it tests the companion mode for mobile phones. The instant messaging app allows them to link a second smartphone through the ‘Link Device’ option. The linking will be through the existing process of QR code scanning.

The report claims that if you connect a second smartphone, your conversation history will sync to that device as well, allowing you to view and respond to calls and texts.

WhatsApp’s Companion Mode To Let You LinkMultiple Phones

The v2.22.23.18 beta version of WhatsApp is being used to test the new companion mode on Android devices. A single WhatsApp account can now be linked to two or more phones at once thanks to the update. You can simultaneously link up to four devices, and all of the linked phones will get chats and data.

According to the screenshot provided by WABetainfo, the app would enable barcode scanning after which all chats will be synced on one or more devices. This will operate similarly to how it is on WhatsApp web.

However, this feature is in beta, so some data may be missing. B. Stickers, Live Locations, and Broadcast list even after syncing. The end-to-end encryption that WhatsApp has will still work even if the account is linked to multiple devices simultaneously.

We don’t have any information on when this feature will be released, but it won’t be long, as features being tested in beta builds are typically released within a couple of months.
