WhatsApp, a Facebook-owned application, has allowed millions of people to interact with one another worldwide. The organization is always looking for ways to improve its user experience. WhatsApp just introduced several new features, one of which being Multi-Device Support. This is thought to be the most helpful update of the app so far, and it is available to the app’s beta users. However, many people wonder what will happen to WhatsApp Web if multi-device functionality is added and users will use it.
WhatsApp’s latest upgrade allows users to use WhatsApp on several devices even if they don’t have access to the internet on their smartphone. Previously, users had to scan a QR code to access WhatsApp Web or the Windows and macOS apps, and the phone had to be linked to the internet to view messages on the desktop or laptop. On the other hand, the current update has fundamentally altered how the app is used on various devices.
You can now connect up to four devices to the primary device with this new capability. However, after WhatsApp’s multi-device support is rolled out internationally, the question of what will happen to WhatsApp online remains. According to the source, “For our users, WhatsApp Web remains an important platform. Previously, WhatsApp could only be used on one device at a time. The only way to get desktop and online support was to mirror your phone, which required that your phone be turned on and that you have an active internet connection.”
Consequently, we may hope for this feature to be a part of future updates. You can currently pair up to four devices to your WhatsApp account using the multi-device feature. Furthermore, audio and video calls are compatible with all linked devices.
