WhatsApp begins multi-device feature rollout: What is it and how it works

WhatsApp has begun rolling out the much-anticipated multi-device support for Android and iOS users. The feature will allow the addition of a secondary device without requiring Internet connection on phones.

The update will allow simultaneous WhatsApp connectivity on up to four devices to send and receive messages even if phones are not connected to the Internet. The update will be particularly helpful to access WhatsApp on a Mac or desktop.
