Good News: WhatsApp Users Can Now Use Same Account on Multiple Phones-Eaglessightnews

WhatsApp users can now use same account on multiple phones

The CEO of Meta, the parent company of the popular messaging app, WhatsApp, Mark Zuckerberg, has announced a new update to the app which will enable users to log into as many as four smartphones with the same account simultaneously.

In a statement posted to his verified Facebook page on Tuesday, Zuckerberg wrote, “Starting today [Tuesday], you can log into the same WhatsApp account on up to four phones.”

Prior to the Tuesday announcement, users could only log into one account on only one phone, and an attempt to log in on another phone would log the user out of the previous phone.

WhatsApp users are no longer restricted to using their account on just a single phone, a report by The Verge says.

“One WhatsApp account, now across multiple phones” is how the messaging service describes the new feature.

Setting up a secondary phone to use with a WhatsApp account happens after doing a fresh install of the app. Except, rather than entering user’s phone number during setup and logging in as usual, the user will instead tap a new “link to existing account” option. This will generate a QR code to be scanned by the primary WhatsApp phone via the “link a device” option in settings. The new feature works across both iOS and Android devices, according to The Verge.
