Now WhatsApp’s ‘companion mode’ lets you use same account on multiple phones

 WhatsApp begins testing a new feature for mobile that web users should already be familiar with.

According to WABetaInfo, WhatsApp’s latest beta (version 2.22.24.18) gets in testing for its new companion mode for smartphones. This opens up the proficiency to attach an Android tablet, as well, as spotted by Android Police. In this test build, users in the WhatsApp beta can head to the registration screen and look for a “Link Device” option in the three-dot menu.

WhatsApp adding the option for users to link another phone to their primary device has been expected for quite a while. It was first teased that this link would sync your chat history across multiple smartphone devices, and we’re now seeing it appear through its new exploratory build. Through the beta, linking your WhatsApp account to another phone or tablet will sync your chat history.

Through the in-app instructions, the Meta-owned messaging app guides users to download the app onto their other devices and scan the QR code with their main phone to link the new device adequately.

WhatsApp has set its linked device cap to four, so users must choose which phone or tablet they’d like to link to host their account aside from their primary.

This companion app feature has begun rolling out to beta testers who have already downloaded the WhatsApp beta for Android from the Google Play Store. More users should start receiving it to test in the weeks ahead. WABetaInfo states that if you are still not seeing this new feature as a beta tester, you’ll probably need to wait for an upcoming test build.
