One of the most anticipated features of WhatsApp is already available to those who have the beta version of the Android app. as it turned out wabetainfothe messaging platform owned by Meta has started to activate the baptized as “companion mode”which will allow users use the same whatsapp account on two different devicesand not only on mobile and PC, as before.
“Companion Mode” is actually the name given to the much-requested multi-device support, which is already available when linking a WhatsApp account in the desktop app or web version of the platform. However, in this case, the goal is Ability to use the same account on an additional mobile phone or tablet and therefore prevent the application itself from exiting the previous device when we register on a new smartphone.
WhatsApp will also allow the user to use the app even if the main smartphone – or the one on which the session was started in the first place – is connected to the Internet. Messages will be synced across both devices, as is already happening on the web version, and you can also make calls or video calls, or even connect to WhatsApp Web or the desktop version from an additional mobile phone or tablet. The app, yes, limits the so-called “Companion Mode” to a maximum of 4 devices..
How to use the new WhatsApp companion mode
Currently a new feature available in version 2.22.24.18 beta version of WhatsApp for Androidbut it is likely that in the coming weeks it will be expanded to the final version and get to WhatsApp for iOS.
To enable this feature, the user must download the WhatsApp app on the secondary device they wish to link (such as a tablet or a second smartphone). Then, on the registration screen, you will need to access the three-point menu that appears at the top of the screen and click “Link Device”.
Then you just need to access the WhatsApp application from the main device, click on the configuration options under “Link device” and focus the camera on the QR code which was previously generated on the second smartphone or tablet.
