One WhatsApp number may now be used on two mobile devices thanks to a new feature that WhatsApp is now rolling out. This is an improvement to the earlier this year introduced Linked devices capability. The most recent version, however, is only now accessible to platforms' beta testers. The business may add it to WhatsApp's stable version in the upcoming months but not yet for all users. 

All current WhatsApp users are only able to access their accounts through a single smartphone, however they are permitted to attach up to four additional devices, such as computers and tablets. People who use two mobile phones will find it easier now that the business plans to allow users to log in to one WhatsApp number on two phones.

To help users maintain track of login information, WhatsApp will now offer a means to see how many devices are presently signed into a certain account. Users will feel more secure as a result and won't have to worry about their accounts being used on unidentified devices.

To test out WhatsApp's new feature, users must first register for the messaging service's beta edition. Just search for the WhatsApp app on the Google Play Store. When you open it, the phrase "Beta programme" will appear on the page.
