Synchronized chats
WABetaInfo has discovered that to carry out the multi-device function, WhatsApp will need to copy and sync all your chats on those other devices.A process for which will require a WiFi connection to expedite this step In this way you must connect to a WiFi network first. From then on, the login or credential registration process begins so that WhatsApp knows that you are the same person who is using its application on another mobile.
When you have identified yourself the Chats synchronization step arrives Thus, after a few seconds (depending on the number of messages and conversations you have ), you will have recent WhatsApp messages on that other device where you are registering. Everything ready to start chatting on one device or another, continuing active conversations without any problem or delay. In fact, the interesting thing is that you will no longer have to have your main mobile operational, charged and with an Internet connection. WhatsApp conversations and messages will flow on the second (third and fourth) device once the chats have been synced independently.
WhatsApp on all your devices
The function to have WhatsApp on all your devices has been in development for some time It is logical since problems such as security have had to be skipped of chats, devices and accounts. But everything seems to be going smoothly, although without a specific date to welcome this feature.
There are still many questions to be resolved, such as whether we can link and synchronize all our WhatsApp chats between Android and iOS devices. According to WABetaInfo, WhatsApp would have worked on the possibility of converting the database files from iOS to Android to generate this compatibility. But nothing is confirmed as of today.
What is known is that there will be a specific application for iPadIn this way we can put aside tricks like using WhatsApp Web in the browser of this device to be able to send and receive messages in our WhatsApp account. Now it will be an independent application but with all our messages and conversations synchronized.
By the way, by having the synchronized messages we will also have the respective notifications We will have to see how this detail is resolved in this function WhatsApp multi-device. And it is that, a single message received can be notified up to four times if we have four devices with our account. A true roost of noises, vibrations and lights. But surely WhatsApp will solve this problem before launching the function.
For now it's time to wait sine die for the arrival of this feature. A useful, practical function that finally breaks down some of the barriers that differentiated WhatsApp from Telegram. Of course, it arrives years late.
