WhatsApp tests multi-device feature before rolling it out to beta testers

WhatsApp is testing multi-device feature, which would let users use the Facebook-owned instant messaging platform on different devices simultaneously. The feature is currently ‘work in progress’ and it is reported to be in the final testing stage. It is expected to roll out to early beta testers soon. Like other WhatsApp beta features, the multi-device feature will roll out to everyone in graded manner once it pass through beta testers. However, there has been no confirmation on the feature roll out timeline.

In retrospective, WhatsApp allows single-device access and users currently cannot use the instant messaging through multiple devices. Users can, however, use Whatsapp on mobile and desktop simultaneous through app and web client, respectively.
