According to a report by WABetaInfo, WhatsApp is finally ready to allow you to use two accounts concurrently on two different devices. This is because some beta testers have access to the brand-new Companion mode.
The capability was initially hinted at as a way to utilize WhatsApp and an Android tablet simultaneously. The report does, nonetheless, imply that the feature is currently being tested to pair with mobile phones.
Only a small number of users have access to the feature, and it’s unknown when additional beta testers will be added to this list.
You can see from the screenshots that doing so is as easy as using the same ‘Link a Device’ option that you would for connecting WhatsApp Web to a second device. The choice ought to be available when signing up for new devices.
WhatsApp transfers and syncs chat history between the two devices as soon as the barcode scanning is finished. Four devices can be linked simultaneously by the app, proving that more than one phone can be connected.
No matter how many devices are connected, some things, like the end-to-end encryption of the messages, never change.
The ability to view live locations as well as manage broadcast lists and stickers is currently not available due to the app’s beta status. But once the stable version is released, we can be sure that they will be rolled back.
Additionally, we don’t know if or when this feature will be added to the iOS version of the app. Additionally, it’s best to take information with a grain of salt because the feature is still being tested.
