Big WhatsApp multi-phone update

WhatsApp has begun testing a feature that makes it possible to link the same WhatsApp account on multiple smartphones, WABetaInfo reports.

The publication said the feature, which is an improvement on WhatsApp’s current multi-device support, has been enabled for some users on WhatsApp beta for Android 2.22.21.6.

What I really want though is to be able to run two WhatsApp instances on my dual SIM phone.

Dual apps on Xiaomi allows for that.

Guessing it is an Android thing. Not Xiaomi

Yes, one for when you are against climate change and another one for booking flights?
Makes sense.

Unfortunately not running Android. Will wait for the next 5 years for Apple to bring about this revolutionary feature at that time.

Nah I prefer it this way. Scammers will be running our Whatsapp on their devices.

Afaik only Samsung and Xiaomi offer this. Definitely not baked into android.

Perfect tool for stalkers and such. Hope there'll be a disable function?

Is this the same as Telegram where you can either have the same number registered on multi devices and also where you can have two numbers registered in the app?

Whatsapp Business --> i.e. run 2 different apps:
1. Whatsapp (normal)
2. Whatsapp for Business

There are several Playstore apps which can add this functionality.

Finally a sliver of light!

Does this mean notifications will also work with the linked phone?
