WhatsApp users can finally use the messaging app on four Android devices. The current setup allows WhatsApp users to log in to desktops as well as a smartphone at the same time. However, things are going to change soon.WhatsApp has finally launched the 'companion mode' feature for all beta testers months after testing the feature. WhatsApp was previously spotted testing the feature with a small group of users. This feature enables users to connect up to four devices at once and sync the chat history across all of them.
According to a report by WABetaInfo, companion mode is being rolled out to everyone in the program with WhatsApp beta for Android v2.23.8.2. This means that if you are a beta user, you can upgrade to the latest version of WhatsApp Android beta. However, after initiating the download, it could take up to 24 hours for all beta testers to use the feature.
The feature will enable users to link their current WhatsApp account to another mobile device. Users can view their chats on the second device without needing an active internet connection on the first phone after linking an existing WhatsApp account to a secondary mobile phone. Currently, the companion mode on WhatsApp for iOS is not accessible, so the second device must be an Android phone or tablet.
Your chat history will sync across all of the devices you attach to your WhatsApp account when you connect them. Similar to how it happens when you use WhatsApp on your phone and laptop at the same time. Although the companion mode has been made available to all beta testers, some functions such as the ability to control broadcast lists and post a status update from the attached device may still be missing.
The companion mode allows you to connect up to four devices simultaneously, and your personal messages and calls are still encrypted from start to finish, even if you use WhatsApp from a phone that is linked to it. When you receive a message, it is encrypted and delivered to all of your devices, according to the report.
Here is how you can use WhatsApp on four devices via companion mode
-To connect a second Android mobile device, users need to download the latest beta version of WhatsApp Messenger or WhatsApp Business from the Google Play Store.
-Then, the "Connect a device" option should appear when they tap the overflow menu on the registration screen. They should launch WhatsApp and select Settings > Connected devices on their main device and use this gadget to scan the QR Code on their backup smartphone.
We hope this blog has helped you to get all information about how WhatsApp users can finally use messaging app on four devices at once with companion mode.
