WhatsApp soon will work on multiple devices using the same number

Unlike other apps like LINE, Skype and Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp relies on the phone number as a personal identifier.  This means that you can run your WhatsApp on only one device (without counting the web version or the computer version).  This can be a bit annoying if you have multiple devices that you want to receive messages on.

 But the good news is that things can change in the near future.  According to a report from WABetaInfo, it appears that WhatsApp has added a hidden feature in the beta version of WhatsApp to the Android platform.  Based on this feature, it appears that WhatsApp ready to allow users to use their application with the same number on multiple devices.

This feature is called “Linked Devices ”, and appears to allow users to link multiple devices using the same number to a single WhatsApp account.  As for why anyone needs this feature, some people may have multiple business phones or multiple personal phones, but they still want to receive WhatsApp messages without having to confuse other people with different business or personal numbers.

 There is currently no information about when this feature will be launched, but the fact that it appears in the latest beta version of WhatsApp indicates that it will be released in the not-too-distant future.
