According to the international website Web Beta Info, a new update of WhatsApp 2.21.19.9 has been released. Therefore, users will be able to easily avail this feature even if they are not beta testers.
The multi-device feature allows users to connect WhatsApp to 4 more devices in addition to the primary device. In addition, users who receive this update will use their WhatsApp account on different devices.
WhatsApp had introduced this new multi-device feature on a trial basis in July this year, but now iOS and Android users will also benefit from this feature.
WhatsApp’s new multi-device feature allows connected devices to access WhatsApp even if the phone doesn’t have internet.
Until now, users need an internet connection to connect WhatsApp in their phone to the web and scan the QR code to access the WhatsApp web. After that, the series of received messages also stops.
But now that the WhatsApp multi-device feature has been introduced, that has changed.
How to use the feature
Android users
Open WhatsApp and click on the Three Dots icon.
After clicking on Link Devices, the user will see the Multi-Device Beta option at the bottom, which by clicking on it, the user can avail of this new feature through Join Beta. If the user wants to leave the multi-device beta, he can go to the same option and use the Leo option.
iOS users
Go to Settings after opening WhatsApp.
After clicking on Link Devices, the user will see the Multi-Device Beta option at the bottom, which by clicking on it, the user can avail of this new feature through Join Beta.
After joining Multi-Device Beta, users will not be able to call or message people from mobile, desktop, or other connected devices with an older version of WhatsApp.
If you don’t use your phone for 14 days, WhatsApp will stop working on the devices connected to that phone.
