WhatsApp has finally started rolling out the stable version of its multi-device feature to all users. This feature was available for some users in the beta version for a long time and now the stable version is being introduced. Now, users of the stable version of WhatsApp will also be able to use the desktop on their primary smartphone even after the internet is out.

Meta-owned instant messaging platform WhatsApp has announced that the new version of the app is being rolled out for WhatsApp Web and Desktop. With the new update, your primary device will no longer need to have an internet connection to access the platform.

Apart from this, WhatsApp has also announced that the new feature will be rolled out to all iOS users in March and Android users in April.

How will WhatsApp’s new multi-device feature work?

Each device will connect to WhatsApp independently. This linkage will be enabled through end-to-end encryption while maintaining the same level of privacy and security.

The instant messaging platform has also acknowledged that some users are facing delays while securely loading messages on WhatsApp web and desktop and is working on improving the app experience for this.

However, after the roll out of WhatsApp multi-device support, many features will not be available. These include link previews on WhatsApp Web, live location viewing on linked devices, better syncing of deleted chats across devices, broadcast lists, sending and receiving messages to your own number, and adding sticker packs to your linked devices from your phone. Including syncing across devices.
