Earlier, WhatsApp users could only connect their account to their desktop along with their smartphone. However, WhatsApp has now come up with a new feature ‘companion mode’– that allows users to access their same account through multiple devices. With this new feature, users will be able to use the same WhatsApp account on four devices simultaneously. However, the feature’s beta version will currently be available only to a select group of Android users.
When a user will install WhatsApp on a new phone, they will be given the option to link their account with another device via a QR code. Tap the three-dot menu in the upper right corner of the window to access the option.
