The latest WhatsApp update is great news if you use more than one handset.
Whatsapp is finally adding one of its most sought-after features – you’ll soon be able to sign into the same account on multiple phones.
Previously, if you were logged into WhatsApp (one of the world’s best encrypted messaging apps) on one phone, and wanted to log into a new phone, you’d be signed out on the old device. There were workarounds using WhatsApp Web – as you could sign in to WhatsApp on a browser without being signed out in the mobile app – but the experience was subpar.
Now, thankfully, Meta has announced (opens in new tab)that the app will support you signing into your account on multiple smartphones. Best of all, you’ll still be able to benefit from WhatsApp’s end-to-end encryption on private messages even if you turn on the new multi-device feature, and you’ll be able to share your account across Android and iOS phones.
