WhatsApp rolls out multi-device feature: Report

Facebook-owned WhatsApp is now rolling out a feature that would allow users to link their account to secondary devices and continue to send and receive messages without the primary smartphone online.
The feature is officially rolling out to all WhatsApp users in the most recent update of WhatsApp on both Android and iOS versions, reports GSMArena.

Previously, users had to make sure that their main smartphone was still connected to the internet before they could carry a conversation on your linked web browser.

When enabling this feature on your smartphone, you need to opt into the feature – labeled as still in “Beta,” the report said.

Once enabled, you will be unlinked from all devices before re-linking to a new device. Once linked, it behaves pretty much the same way, except you will be able to chat regardless of whether your main smartphone is online or not, it added.

Plus, messages and calls are still end-to-end encrypted.
