WhatsApp companion mode allows users to access their conversations on four other devices, even when their primary smartphone is not connected to the Internet, according to gadgets360.
After updating to WhatsApp Web beta 2.2353.59, feature tracker WABetaInfo discovered a new feature in the web client that allows users to post updates from the status section. Beta testers should be able to tap on the green icon next to the profile picture next to My Status and tap on Photos and Videos or Text to download status update.
The ability to share status updates is also available for companion devices. According to details recently shared by WABetaInfo, users who have updated to the beta version of WhatsApp for Android 2.24.1.4 will be able to add a status update directly from their companion devices. Linked devices currently allow users to chat With their contacts, but WhatsApp seems to be slowly expanding the features available on these devices.
There is no information about when the company will roll out the feature to all users, and it is also expected that the feature will make its way to iOS devices.
The messaging platform recently started testing a new type of companion device – WhatsApp for iPad. Beta testers can now install WhatsApp on Apple tablets if they are part of the TestFlight program. However, it should be noted that both the Android and iOS beta programs for WhatsApp are full. Currently, the service does not allow more users to sign up to receive WhatsApp beta updates.
