WhatsApp is now one of the most popular messaging applications in the world. Practical and easy to use are the reasons why WhatsApp is so loved. Well, the good news for you loyal WhatsApp users, now you can send messages via WhatsApp even if your smartphone is turned off and your internet quota is running out, you know!
This is because of the multi-device feature on WhatsApp. This feature allows WhatsApp to be used on one smartphone and four other devices. Previously, this application belonging to Meta only allowed WhatsApp to be used on one smartphone and one other device. Both of them must be connected to the internet.
But now, the multi-device feature allows the use of WhatsApp Web, Portal and Desktop at the same time even though it is not directly connected to the smartphone and the smartphone data package must be active.
"With this new capability you can now use WhatsApp on your phone and up to four other non-phone devices at the same time, even if your phone's battery dies," says Facebook's Engineering page.
For security and privacy, the company ensures that it continues to use end-to-end encryption where messages can only be read, heard or watched by the sender and recipient of the message. As is known WhatsApp has been using this technology for a long time.
