Mark Zuckerberg, the president and CEO of Meta, recently announced a new update to WhatsApp that will allow users to log into the same account on up to four different devices.
The function, highly requested by users, ensures the privacy and security of messages, since each linked device does so independently and with end-to-end encryption.
This update not only benefits users who change phones and want to keep their chats in the same session, but also those who use WhatsApp Business and need multiple workers to use it on different phones.
Furthermore, the platform promises practicality and ease of use, as a unique code system is being implemented for device linking instead of the typical QR code.
The American company Meta began exploring multi-device features in 2021 with a beta version in which users could connect up to four non-mobile devices.
Now with the update, users can sign in on up to four different phones, and the feature is starting to roll out in some territories, expecting to be available to everyone in the coming weeks.
WhatsApp ensures that it has developed new technologies to maintain end-to-end encryption and achieve data synchronization across all devices, including contact names, chat files, starred messages, and more.
With this update, WhatsApp offers users an easier and more secure way to stay connected across multiple devices.
