If you are an iPhone user, you can now access the long-awaited multi-device feature of WhatsApp. This feature enables you to use your WhatsApp account on up to four devices, even if the primary device is offline. In this guide, we will show you how to activate the multi-device feature on your iOS device.
Enabling WhatsApp Multi-Device Feature on iOS
To start, ensure that you have the latest version of WhatsApp installed on your device. The multi-device feature has been tested and confirmed to work well on version 2.21.180.14.
After installing the latest version, go to the “paired devices” section, and click on the “cross-device beta” option. Next, select “join beta” to activate the multi-device feature on your WhatsApp account.
It is important to note that you can exit the beta program and rejoin at any given time without any limitations. However, joining the beta program will remove all existing WhatsApp web devices.
Understanding WhatsApp Multi-Device Feature
The multi-device feature of WhatsApp allows users to access their WhatsApp account on up to four devices, including mobile devices, computers, and tablets. The feature enables you to receive and send messages, even if your primary device is not connected to the internet. However, using WhatsApp on a web browser does not allow you to make or receive calls. But, if you download and use the desktop version, you can access all features, even when the primary device is offline.
