You might be able to log into your WhatsApp account on two phones soon


Noted feature leaker WABetaInfo states that the messaging service is now working on ‘multi-device 2.0’ that will allow users to connect a second mobile device to their primary device and use WhatsApp on both devices. — AFP

WhatsApp recently added multi-device support in beta testing, catching up with services like Telegram and Signal that have allowed users to log into their account from multiple devices at the same time.

Importantly, unlike rival Telegram, both WhatsApp and Signal have not yet allowed users to log in on multiple phones at the same time. WhatsApp is now working on changing that, according to a new leak, which suggests that the company is working on adding true multi-device support for the messaging service.
