<ul><li>Meta has rolled out a feature that allows users to access one <keyword id="790242" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="whatsapp" source="Orion">WhatsApp</keyword> account on multiple devices.</li><li>Earlier, users were limited to using one WhatsApp account on a single phone and multiple companion desktop devices.</li><li>WhatsApp says this feature will roll out to all users within the coming weeks.</li></ul>Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Facebook and Instagram, announced that WhatsApp is finally introducing multi-device login support, allowing users to access the same WhatsApp account on up to four phones. According to WhatsApp, this feature will be rolled out to all users in the coming weeks. Previously, users were limited to one WhatsApp account on a single phone and multiple companion desktop devices. This new <a href="https://blog.whatsapp.com/one-whatsapp-account-now-across-multiple-phones">multi-device login support</a> feature will allows users to link up to four devices to their account. Each linked device will function independently, even when the primary device is not connected to the internet, ensuring that messages continue to be received on the independent devices. However, if the primary device remains inactive for an extended period, WhatsApp will automatically log out of all companion devices. The four additional devices could be smartphones, PCs, or a combination of both, giving users flexibility in accessing their WhatsApp accounts across different devices. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Connect companion phones to WhatsApp" comment="subhead" text="Connect companion phones to WhatsApp">Connect companion phones to WhatsApp</cmsannotation> Meta has confirmed that there will be multiple ways to add companion devices to your WhatsApp account. Currently, one method involves entering the phone number on the secondary device and then inputting the OTP (One-Time Password) received on the primary device. Alternatively, users can add a companion device by scanning a QR code on the primary device. This means that users can have a WhatsApp account on an Android or iOS device and then add a companion device, either an Android or iOS device. Meta has also assured us that the update is being rolled out globally and will reach all devices in the coming weeks. To access this feature, it's important to download and install the latest version of WhatsApp on both your primary and companion smartphones. Both devices should have up-to-date versions of WhatsApp to utilize this feature effectively. Stay tuned with Business Insider India for more updates from Meta on additional ways to add companion devices to your WhatsApp account.

<keyword id="12161" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="san-francisco" source="Orion">San Francisco</keyword>, Meta-owned messaging platform WhatsApp is reportedly working on a new feature which will provide users the ability to report status updates on desktop beta.

According to WABetaInfo, this feature is under development so it is not ready to be released to beta users. "WhatsApp is planning to extend the functionality of status updates by adding the support for voice notes," as per the report. A voice note shared as a status update may be called "voice status". The feature will only be shared with the people you choose within your status privacy settings, and the voice note will be end-to-end encrypted as other images and videos shared to your status. Recently, the platform announced that it is rolling out a new feature that will let users react to messages with any emoji of their choice. Currently, the platform gives several users the ability to react with a limited number of just six emojis. CEO Mark Zuckerberg mentioned some of the emojis like a robot, french fries, surfing in the sea, etc. Meanwhile, a recent report said that WhatsApp is also likely working on a feature that will give iOS users the ability to hide their online status from everyone. Currently, users can choose to display their "Last Seen" information to contacts, some people, or no one. For a future version of the app, WhatsApp will let users follow a similar approach to the online toggle.

Now, WhatsApp users have a 15-minute window to rectify any erroneous messages they may have sent. This highly convenient feature eliminates the need to delete entire messages, allowing users to correct sentences or words that were initially inaccurate. The introduction of the Edit button on WhatsApp is a valuable tool in preventing the embarrassment caused by sending incorrect messages. The 15-minute time limit provides ample opportunity for most users to make necessary edits. However, if an exceptionally lengthy message is sent, the time limit may appear somewhat restrictive for editing purposes. It is important to note that the feature may not be immediately available to all users, given the app's extensive user base consisting of billions of individuals. The update will progressively reach all users over the course of the next few days. Here's how you can edit mistakenly sent messages on WhatsApp- <ul><li>Launch the WhatsApp application and navigate to any chat.</li><li>Simply long-press the message that you mistakenly sent.</li><li>Now, you will see an option called ‘<keyword id="13827604" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="edit-message" source="Orion">Edit Message</keyword>.’ Tap on it to modify the text according to your needs.

WhatsApp rolls out contact cards sharing on Windows beta

WhatsApp has revolutionized the way we communicate, but it also comes with certain features that reveal when you've seen someone's status. Sometimes, you might want to discreetly view a contact's status without them knowing. In this article, we'll explore various methods to do just that. <h3 style="line-height:1.92;margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:4pt;">Method 1: Disable Read Receipts</h3>One of the simplest ways to view someone's WhatsApp status without notifying them is by disabling read receipts. Here's how you can do it: <ul><li>Open WhatsApp and tap the three dots in the top-right corner to access the settings.</li><li>Navigate to "Account."</li><li>Toggle off the "Read receipts" option.</li></ul>Please keep in mind that this action will also disable read receipts for your own messages, meaning others won't know when you've read their messages either. <h3 style="line-height:1.92;margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:4pt;">Method 2: View Status Offline</h3>Another method involves viewing a status when you are offline. Follow these steps: <ul><li>Wait until the contact updates their status.</li><li>Quickly turn off your internet connection or enable airplane mode on your device.</li><li>Open WhatsApp and navigate to the status section. You will now be able to view the cached status without appearing online.</li></ul><h3 style="line-height:1.92;margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:4pt;">Method 3: Use Third-Party Apps (With Caution)</h3>Several third-party apps claim to allow you to secretly view WhatsApp status without being detected. These apps, such as GBWhatsApp, Status Saver, and KidsGuard for WhatsApp, offer additional features beyond the official WhatsApp application. However, it's crucial to exercise caution when using such apps. Here are a few things to consider: <ul><li>Third-party apps can pose security risks. They might not be secure and could potentially compromise your data.</li><li>WhatsApp actively discourages the use of third-party apps and can temporarily or permanently ban users who violate their terms of service.</li><li>These apps may not be reliable or consistently effective, as WhatsApp can patch vulnerabilities with updates.</li></ul><h3 style="line-height:1.92;margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:4pt;">Method 4: Check the Hidden WhatsApp Status Folder</h3>If you want to avoid directly opening status updates, you can navigate to the hidden WhatsApp Status folder. Here's how: <ul><li>Open your phone's file manager.</li><li>Enable the option to "Show hidden files."</li><li>Navigate to the ".Statuses" folder within WhatsApp.</li></ul>In this folder, you can view status updates without the need to open them directly. However, this method may not always work, as WhatsApp's file structure can vary by device and version. <h3 style="line-height:1.92;margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:4pt;">Conclusion:</h3>While it's possible to secretly view WhatsApp status without the user knowing, it's essential to approach these methods with caution and respect for privacy. WhatsApp's primary intention is to maintain transparency and enable users to know when their messages or statuses are seen. Using third-party apps can be risky, both in terms of data security and potential violations of WhatsApp's terms of service. It's advisable to use the official WhatsApp features responsibly and only explore these methods if you have a valid reason to do so, always respecting the privacy of others.
