According to WABetainfo, the update will be available to iOS users this month, followed by an Android release the following month.
With the new version, your primary device will no longer need to be connected to the internet in order to use the platform. On linked devices, seeing live location is not available.

Users on both Android and iOS may now use their WhatsApp accounts on various devices at the same time to send and receive messages on the app, even if their phones do not have an internet connection. For a long period, the functionality was in Beta status. Users can connect up to four gadgets and one phone simultaneously. However, keep in mind that if the phone is dormant for 14 days, the linked devices will be unplugged.
