The multi-device sign-in feature would allow users to use single
WhatsApp account on multiple devices simultaneously.
WhatsApp
is testing multi-device authentication, which shall allow users to sign-in from
the same account on multiple devices. Currently, user can authenticate single
device by means of mobile number verification. As soon as you change the device
and sign-in on another device, WhatsApp automatically logs you out from all
other devices. The multi-device sign-in feature, which is currently tested
internally by WhatsApp, would allow users to sign-in on the same account from
different devices.
“From now on WhatsApp is internally
starting some important tests for the multi device feature. It's not available
yet and there isn't a release date: it could be next two months, four months,
six months… but it's really positive that they have started to test it on the
whole” wrote WABetaInfo on Twitter.
The multi-device sign-in feature would
allow users to use single WhatsApp account on multiple devices simultaneously.
Therefore, it would be easier to switch from a mobile phone to tablet or iPad,
and computer and continue the conversation from where you left on the last used
device.
Though the details are scarce, the
multi-device feature might also allow users to transfer data from Android to
iOS device in real time. Currently, you can move WhatsApp to iOS
device from Android device but there is no provision to transfer chats and
other WhatsApp data on iOS from Android, or from iOS to Android. The
multi-device sign-in might bring a sync and let user sync data across devices.
