About a month ago, WhatsApp officially introduced multi-device use for Android users. This feature, which allows you to connect up to five Android phones to a single account, is now also available for iOS devices.
WhatsApp multi-device support now on iOS devices
With the 23.10.76 update for WhatsApp, multi-device usage feature has been made available for iOS devices. iOS users can start using this feature through an update from the App Store.
Just like on Android, the iOS version of the messaging app syncs history and all messages are available on all devices. Meta, the parent company of WhatsApp, announced that the new multi-device usage does not prevent the conversations from being end-to-end encrypted.
The multi-device era has begun on WhatsApp!
Mark Zuckerberg, with his statement, announced that multi-device support is now available in the WhatsApp application.
However, it is worth remembering that some features are only available on the main device. Some features such as messaging broadcast lists and status updates will only be available on the main device. Also, the new version now allows for autoplaying GIFs in chats without having to tap the message.
WhatsApp is one of the largest communication platforms with more than 2 billion users. Due to the end-to-end encryption support offered in the popular application, multi-device support was not available until now. Thanks to the new technology developed by the company, it will now be able to synchronize between devices while maintaining its end-to-end technology.
WhatsApp first started multi-device testing in 2021. After about two years, the ‘accompaniment mode’ is finally available. Telegram and Messenger, which are the two biggest rivals of the communication platform, have had this feature for a long time. However, it is worth remembering that these applications do not support end-to-end encryption.
WhatsApp continues to offer different features every day to keep the user experience at a high level. So what do you think about WhatsApp and multi-device support? You can share your views with us in the comments section.
