This comes amid reports of WhatsApp is likely to get a much-anticipated feature of giving users the ability to use one WhatsApp account on two devices. Currently, WhatsApp users automatically get logged out from their primary smartphones if they also log into their accounts through a tablet.
Supposedly called the Linked Devices feature, the ability to run one account on two Android devices has been made available for WhatsApp beta users. The Meta-owned company is alerting beta testers to run their accounts with WhatsApp's tablet version. WhatsApp’s Android app for users enrolled on the beta programme reads: “Have an Android tablet? WhatsApp for tablet is available for beta testers.”
