WhatsApp has been working on multi-device support from a very long time. The app has recently designed a new user interface for linking devices to an account. The feature is not yet rolled out and was last spotted in the latest beta update of WhatsApp on iOS. Along with this, WhatsApp will also get a new storage feature. The features are under development at present.
WABetaInfo says that WhatsApp has revealed a new user interface to link devices. The label has “Use WhatsApp on other devices” written on it but its not possible as the app is working on it. The “Link device” button is used to create a new session with WhatsApp Web. It would be used to create sessions with other devices in the future.
WhatsApp has been working from a very long time on this feature. At present, WhatsApp can be accessed from two devices at the same time that includes a phone and desktop. Users cannot log in to WhatsApp from two phones and can do it from a laptop or computer. WhatsApp is working to let users add around 4 devices using one account which means that when the feature gets rolled out, users would be able to log in from their iPad or iPhone at the same time.
One more feature was spotted in the latest beta update for iOS which as the new storage user interface. A new Manage storage option has been received by storage interface in the beta update. The report of WABetaInfo says that they also see a new Ui for Storage Usage in the same update which includes the tools implemented in WhatsApp for Android. In order to reach the new Storage Usage, users need to open Storage and Data in WhatsApp Settings. They can see that WhatsApp has changed the order of those sections by giving priority to Storage Usage.
WhatsApp has recently rolled out the Always Mute option for Android and iOS users. The new feature would allow users to mute WhatsApp groups forever.
