WhatsApp multi-device support beta testing tipped to launch soon

Soon WhatsApp users will be able to log into multiple devices with the same account. Previously, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and WhatsApp chief Will Cathcart had announced the rollout of multi-device testing for public beta users in a month or two.

With the new feature, users will be allowed to link up to four devices with the same account at once. Also, users need not keep the main device online to use WhatsApp on other devices or even on WhatsApp Web. At present users can only log on to a computer system using WhatsApp Web only when the main device, i.e the phone is online.
