WhatsApp Might Soon Expand the Multi-device Sign-in Feature To Secondary Phones and Tablets

WhatsApp has long supported multi-device sign-in, at least when it comes to desktop computers. You can use the messenger on your laptop or computer without having to keep your phone connected to the internet. People with Android tablets or secondary cellphones, on the other hand, were left out of the party’ as the feature was only available on desktop computers. This could change soon, as early indications suggest that the messenger is working on enabling companion Android devices.

WABetaInfo went through the code and found a page in the current WhatsApp Beta for Android, version 2.22.10.13. It appears to allow you to register an Android device as a secondary companion for your primary phone running WhatsApp.

The new WhatsApp section is called “Register Device as Companion,” with an explanation noting that the capability allows you to use WhatsApp on another device. The view appears to be in beta; as instructions at the bottom state that you must scan a QR code with your primary WhatsApp mobile to see what’s displayed here.

WhatsApp Started Working on Multi-device 2.0 last year

Last year, we saw the first signs of WhatsApp working on “multi-device 2.0,”. It would allow you to sync your messages with multiple Android mobile devices. You’ll get a splash screen during setup, it will alert you that your secondary WhatsApp installation is presently collecting recent messages.

While it was previously unclear whether the feature would remain limited to traditional secondary devices such as tablets and Chromebooks; this week’s fresh information appears to indicate this feature is compatible with mobile phones.
