WhatsApp has announced it will soon introduce one of its most requested features: the ability to use the same account across multiple devices — without requiring the primary phone to stay connected to the internet.
This marks a significant departure from the app’s previous model, which depended entirely on syncing through the main device.
Meta, WhatsApp’s parent company, confirmed that users will be able to link up to four devices simultaneously while maintaining end-to-end encryption. Supported devices will include computers, tablets, and even additional smartphones — offering users unprecedented flexibility in both personal and professional settings, according to news agencies.
This update places WhatsApp in direct competition with messaging platforms like Telegram and Signal, which have long offered similar multi-device functionality. It also positions WhatsApp as a more viable option for businesses seeking secure, seamless communication channels between employees and clients.
According to technical sources, the feature will initially roll out to beta users, with wider availability expected in the coming weeks. Meta reassured users that all messages sent across devices will remain fully encrypted and will not be stored on centralized servers—addressing potential privacy concerns.
This update reflects WhatsApp’s shift toward more sophisticated functionality, moving beyond cosmetic upgrades to focus on improving operational structure and usability. As users increasingly demand cross-device compatibility, this feature signals WhatsApp’s commitment to keeping pace with the evolving demands of modern digital life.
