WhatsApp first started testing multi-device in 2021. About two years later, the 'companion mode' is finally available. It is worth noting that Telegram and Messenger, the two biggest competitors of the communication platform, have had this feature for a long time. However, it should be remembered that these applications do not support end-to-end encryption.
WhatsApp, one of the most popular versions of communication, has been working on a feature called 'companion mode' for a long time. The feature, which has been worked on for a long time, was recently made available to beta users. The new feature can now be used by general users.
WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook's CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the activation of the 'companion mode'. According to the announcement, WhatsApp users can now connect to their accounts from 4 different phones.
Until now, WhatsApp users could use their phones and accompanying computers. The announcement will synchronize users' messages across devices, including other phones. Therefore, even if one device is turned off, access to the application can be provided from other devices.
Steps to use WhatsApp on multiple devices:
Install WhatsApp on the second device and go to the login screen. Touch "Connect a device." Go to the main device and access the "Linked Devices" menu. Touch the "Link a Device" option on the main device. Scan the QR code that appears on the second device on the main device. WhatsApp, which has started to offer multi-device support, also announced that it has brought a new method to connect these devices. Now, users can get a one-time password by entering their phone numbers instead of scanning the QR code when accessing WhatsApp Web.
