WhatsApp multi-device support allows users to add even more devices to their primary WhatsApp accounts. Previously, users could link their WhatsApp account to the desktop app and continue using it even if the battery died. Users can do the same for three additional devices apart from their primary smartphones. Here’s what you need to know about the latest development to WhatsApp multi-device support.

WhatsApp tweeted from its official handle that its multi-device support is getting an upgrade. According to the tweet, if your phone has no charge, you can still access your WhatsApp chats on up to four devices. The tweet assures users that they can confidently use WhatsApp chats on other devices since the chats keep flowing, syncing, and end-to-end encrypted on all four devices. WhatsApp says this upgrade is intended to make your messaging experience more seamless and convenient, even if your phone goes offline.
You can link your primary WhatsApp account to any compatible device like your tablet, laptop, or desktop. This gives users the much-needed flexibility to switch devices at their will while still staying connected to their contacts. And the ability for all devices to stay synced and working even when the primary phone runs out of battery is a considerable upgrade considering older versions required the phone to be online for WhatsApp to work on linked devices.
