After years of users requesting the ability to use WhatsApp on more devices than just their phone, WhatsApp has finally added multi-device support to the calling and messaging platform. Technically, “multi-device support” only means you can use the same account on additional PC’s or non-Apple tablets—you still can’t download WhatsApp on a secondary phone or iPad, unfortunately.
It was a feature you could opt into at your discretion through the phone app itself. If you wanted to be able to log in through a different device, you’d have to specifically enable the feature on your phone, as it’s still technically in beta—that is, until now.
They can now no longer leave the program, which is certain proof that multi-support is soon to be rolled out to everyone on the platform. And, as it turns out, it will be mandatory rather than optional after the upcoming WhatsApp beta version 2.21.23.10 goes live.
How will this affect users, you may ask? Well, if you are already using the multi-device support feature, as soon as the update arrives to bring it to everyone, you will be logged out of all your additional devices, and you will have to re-link them to your account if you want to use your WhatsApp on more than just your phone.
