WhatsApp's new multi-device feature, aka can be used simultaneously on multiple devices, has finally been released and can be tested by its users. Here is a glimpse of the ins and outs.
What are the features of WhatsApp of various devices?
In essence, this multi -device feature allows users to operate one account on different devices independently and simultaneously. This means that when using the multi -device feature, the phone does not need to be connected while using other devices. At one time, WhatsApp users could use four devices at once.
Is it available to all users?
This function has long been favored by Facebook before it became a reality. However, for an early stage at the moment, the WhatsApp features of various new devices are still in beta stage and only tested on a small number of users. It will probably be widely available in the near future.
Has a feature like this ever existed in WhatsApp before?
The WhatsApp function of these various devices makes users not need to connect their mobile phones to the internet to be able to use the WhatsApp web on a PC or laptop. Previously, the WhatsApp web could only work if the user’s phone was always connected to the internet. If the phone is dead or having trouble connecting, the same thing will happen in the web version.
How does it work?
As already mentioned, this multi -device feature does not require a smartphone as the primary connection source. However, users still need to register a WhatsApp account and create a link on the new device with their mobile phone.
Is the conversation still safe?
According to WhatsApp, although mobile phones do not need to be activated and connected to the internet, WhatsApp’s web data stream is still protected by the end-to-end encryption system that WhatsApp has always boasted of, so that messages can only be read by senders and recipients.
Is the chat experience still the same?
Yes, WhatsApp says that they sync message history and other data like contacts across devices connected to this feature. However, because it is still in beta, not all features are available. For example, on devices other than mobile phones, the direct location feature is not visible.
