Following its multi-device feature update weeks ago, WhatsApp<\/a> is starting to work on a second version that will allow users to link new mobile devices<\/strong> to their WhatsApp accounts. This will add a new section to the screen interface where you can register your other phone or tablet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the instant messaging app\u2019s numerous beta features in development, WhatsApp\u2019s multi-device support<\/a> is currently one of the best that\u2019s finally been made available to the public. With it, users can link up to four desktop devices and one phone<\/strong> to their WhatsApp account and let them access the app\u2019s services almost anywhere.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, some users have more mobile devices so the limitation of only one phone per account can be stifling. Fortunately, WhatsApp Beta <\/a>is already developing more of the feature and will be introducing a \u201csecond version\u201d soon. This will let you add another phone<\/strong> to your supported devices via the \u201cRegister Device as Companion<\/strong>\u201d feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new section will only show up when you open WhatsApp on a different phone. It will display instructions on how to link up your new phone to your account and will require one of your linked devices to work first. Similar to how the multi-device feature works, it\u2019ll display a QR code<\/strong> you can scan. For now, WhatsApp is working on supporting secondary phones but users will eventually be able to link tablets<\/strong>, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s no announced release date on the beta test for this just yet, but we can expect that it\u2019ll eventually be available for all WhatsApp platforms. Regardless, this will be a great addition to the app\u2019s list of handy features\u2014especially for Business accounts since WhatsApp Business is developing an optional subscription plan<\/a> that offers a bigger limit on supported devices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
