WhatsApp may soon allow you to use same chat account on multiple devices

It is still not confirmed whether the new feature will also be available on iOS.

Meanwhile, the messaging platform already allows users to log in on multiple devices through the 'Linked Devices Feature', which was rolled out in November 2021.
Tech giant WhatsApp will soon let users operate the same account on different devices including a mobile phone or a tablet. So far, the Meta-owned instant messaging platform does not allow users to chat from the same account on multiple phones.

But according to WABetaInfo, that's about to change. As per the report, WhatsApp will let users manage their account on a different device as a "companion" by scanning a code which appears on your main device with the official account.

The new update, which is currently being tested, will also automatically sync recent messages on the companion device and will be end-to-end encrypted. According to reports, WhatsApp uses the same splash screen displayed in the web and desktop apps to download your messages.


Users will also not require their primary phone connected to the Internet in order to access the chat on companion device as WhatsApp will download everything for you directly from its server.

However, there are still no confirmation if this update will see the light of the day and when will it be made public.

It is still not confirmed whether the new feature will also be available on iOS.
