WhatsApp Multi-Device Support Rolling Out

After keeping its much-awaited multi-device feature in beta for the longest time, WhatsApp has now started rolling it out to all Android and iOS users. It means that you will now be able touse WhatsApp on up to 4 devices without needing your primary device always connected to an active internet network.

To recall, with the feature being in beta,users needed to voluntarily opt-in to try it out. However, that’s no longer the case. Users can simply link other devices to their WhatsApp account using their primary device and use the messaging service on any of those devices (tablet, laptop, or computer), regardless of platform or OS.

How to Use WhatsApp Multi-Device Feature?

Now, if you are interested in using the multi-device feature on WhatsApp, you will need to update your app to the latest version from the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store. After updating the app, follow these steps to link a device to your WhatsApp account. Now, it is worth mentioning that I am using an iOS device to demonstrate the process.

Note:Before you link a device to your WhatsApp account, make sure to keep WhatsApp’s web client or desktop app open on the device you are linking.

Now,you will see the device that you linked on the “Linked Devices” page. As mentioned before, you can link up to four devices to your WhatsApp account and all of them will show up on the dedicated section. From here,you can also log out of specific devicesto unlink them.

It took WhatsApp months to properly develop the feature to support all kinds of platforms. Whatsapp CEO Will Cathcartdetailed technical challengesfaced in developing the feature in an interview earlier last year. But, we finally have it here with us.
