Jakarta –
During this time when you want to send a message WhatsApp, HP must be on and connected to the internet. But now we can still send and receive WhatsApp messages even if the cellphone is in a dead condition because it runs out of battery or does not have an internet quota.
WhatsApp has a Multi-Device feature that allows users to independently access their WhatsApp to other devices. In the sense that it does not require a cellphone that is always on and connected to the internet.
As we know, when accessing WhatsApp Web or Desktop, HP is required to be on standby. Once we are not connected to the internet, especially when it is off, we cannot send and receive messages on WA Web or WA Desktop.
According to the news, the WhatsApp Multi-Device feature will begin to be rolled out to all users this week. But if you’re curious, you can try the beta version.
A little note, this new feature can only be used up to four devices. Additionally some features are not currently supported. The company said in its blog post that users cannot clear or delete conversations on a connected device if the primary device is an iPhone.
Another limitation is that WhatsApp does not allow using this feature on tablets. Also, the app will not allow calls or messages to devices running older versions of the app. Connected devices cannot see real time location and cannot create or view broadcast messages.
Although once connected we don’t need an internet-connected cellphone, but WhatsApp still provides limitations. So if you don’t open the WhatsApp application on your cellphone (connected to the internet) after 14 days then all linked devices will automatically exit.
If it’s a matter of security, you don’t need to worry, WhatsApp has ensured that the Multi Device feature supports end-to-end encryption. This means that all private messages, media, and calls will be kept private.
