WhatsApp multi-device feature limitations: What you may not be able to do


The users who do get enrolled in the WhatsApp multi device beta will be able to link one phone and up to four additional devices – on WhatsApp Web, WhatsApp Desktop and Facebook’s Portal. Once linked, WhatsApp will work on these devices even if your mail device runs out of battery or does not have Internet access. — AFP

WhatsApp has been lagging in one thing that this digital era requires – multi device support.

Most people deal with multiple devices as they juggle work, friends and entertainment, but WhatsApp has been quite slow to move on this feature. It is no wonder then that WhatsApp multi device support may well be one of the most requested features ever.
