How To Get WhatsApp’s Stunning New Update On Your Phone
, and so while your phone remains the primary device, it doesn’t need to be connected for other linked devices to work. End-to-end encryption extends to these multiple, linked devices, ensuring that every connection is secured.
There is a major caveat with the beta, though. WhatsApp needs to provide dedicated apps to make this work smoothly, especially on tablets. For now, the only way to use multi-device access on an iPad is through web access, and that’s a painful process. But it’s still better than it was before, and, critically, much more secure.
WhatsApp is expected to go fully live with multi-device access soon, and code now in test suggests the next update will enable dedicated mobile apps for tablets, but there is speculation that WhatsApp might also enable multiple phones. This would benefit anyone with work and home devices, or different phones for different countries.I have been using the multi-device beta on a desktop and an iPad.
While WhatsApp has some serious catching up to do with the likes of iMessage and Signal before this multi-device access can be considered productionized, the complex architectural upgrade has worked flawlessly, and that’s where the work has been. Even so, it’s still better than the current screen scrape or having to revert to your phone.You should evaluate the beta and try this for yourself.
