WhatsApp will allow you to use the same number on several mobiles at the same time
Table of contents:
At the moment it is little more than a rumor. But everything indicates that WhatsApp is willing to modify its operation and some of its security features to give rise to a much-demanded function: being able to use the same phone number or user account on several devices at the same time. Something that goes beyond what is seen on WhatsApp Web, combining mobile and computer, to allow the use of the same account on several mobiles, on the iPad and on the mobile, or even on the computer without having the mobile connected or with battery
As usual, the information comes directly from WABetaInfo, where they have been scrutinizing each new version for years to discover lines of code with clues about what is to come. And, according to his official blog, several months and several clues led him to launch this rumor In fact, he dares to affirm that the multiplatform function of WhatsApp is already in full development, although without a specific date of publication. Of course, without official confirmation or screenshots it can be somewhat risky to think that we will see this feature soon.
Your WhatsApp account on various mobiles
The idea is that you can keep your WhatsApp account active, with a single phone number, on various mobile devices. At once. Something that would make it possible, for example, to have an iPhone mobile and an Android mobile with your active account And with effective notifications for each new message received in both.A dream for many users who work with several terminals or through various platforms where it would be useful to have their chats at hand.
It will be even more useful when the confirmed version of WhatsApp for iPad is released. Which can be kept active, without uninstalling, even if we have the iPhone WhatsApp application in use Something unthinkable today. In fact, it seems that the delay in the long-awaited iPad application has to do with this cross-platform function. And it is that everything should be well tied before launching this application to integrate it into this renewed and effective multiplatform system.
But things don't end here. WhatsApp Web would also have notable improvements with this system. In fact, WABetaInfo talks about the possibility of using your WhatsApp account on a computer without having your phone constantly connected to the Internet.Interesting data savings, but also convenient if we take into account that we don't even need the mobile to be turned on All this just by using the Windows application, without having to Nothing is known, for now, about this function for Mac.
Security and encryption changes
But be careful with this change in WhatsApp operation. If there is no estimated arrival date, it is because the engineering work required is arduous. Not only to keep the same account active on various devices, but to send messages to all of them that cannot be intercepted or read by those who shouldn't That is, an improvement in encryption more than justified.
So we shouldn't expect anytime soon to be able to use this app.And, surely, we will suffer a few service outages while WhatsApp engineers apply changes, improvements and new features to the application code to carry this out. We can only hope and hope that the function is as useful as we imagined.
Do not lose sight of the fact that WABetaInfo treats all this information, for now, as a rumor. So we will have to wait and take all these details with a grain of s alt before they become official.
