WhatsApp keeps on releasing new features every month to keep users engaged on the platform. After all, WhatsApp has over two billion users in the world. WhatsApp recently released a host of new features including Animated Stickers, QR codes, Dark mode for web and desktop and more. And in the future, WhatsApp will keep adding more features so that people continue to use the app. WhatsApp has been working on multi-device support for some time now. This new feature is currently under development and is expected to be pushed with an upcoming beta release according to WABetaInfo. The feature will allow users to access Whatsapp on multiple devices with a single account. It is being said that the feature will be named Linked Devices at the time of release.

With the Linked Devices feature, the company will also roll out the chat history sync feature to copy all of the chats from one device to another. After the rollout of this feature, an Internet connection on your device will no longer be needed to use Whatsapp Desktop. After the rollout of this feature, messages will be delivered to all your family devices, due to this all of your chat histories will be always synced across platforms. Once you remove a device from the network of linked devices, your encryption key will change and all active chats will be notified.

WhatsApp Web requires a phone to be powered on and connected to the web, but this new multiple device support won’t need to constantly connect back to a phone and will allow people to use WhatsApp on multiple devices simultaneously.

This new multiple devices feature, which has been rumored for months, will also likely support chat history sync, allowing WhatsApp users to sync their messages across devices. WABetaInfo also reports that WhatsApp will release its long-rumored iPad app once the multiple devices support is ready to be released.

WhatsApp now has 2 billion users and has been introducing features to limit the forwarding of viral messages in recent months. WhatsApp also added a search feature last week to help users debunk misinformation that can spread on the messaging service.
