How will this new multi-device feature work?
Each device connects to WhatsApp independently. This linkage is made possible while maintaining the same level of privacy and security through end-to-end encryption.
The instant messaging platform has also acknowledged that some users are experiencing delays in loading messages securely on WhatsApp web and desktop. The messaging app is working to refine the experience.
Some of the features will no longer be available on WhatsApp Web after the support rollout. These include
Link preview on WhatsApp Web, view live location on linked devices, better sync deleted chats between devices, broadcast lists, send and receive messages to your own number and sync sticker packs from your phone to your linked device.
