Multi-device support to be launched very soon:

It is a well-known fact that WhatsApp has been working on a multi-device support feature for almost a year now. The report states the platform is testing its most awaited feature and is planning to launch it very soon. It is being tested for both Android and IOS, said the report. The latest feature upgrade will allow WhatsApp users to log in to more than one device. At present, except for WhatsApp Web, one account can’t be logged in to two devices at the same time. Currently, if the users log in a second device, then automatically they will be logged out from the first device. The latest feature will make multi-tasking easy and users will be able to switch devices very easily.

The report states that this feature is being presently developed for IOS but will also be tested for Android users and it will also work on WhatsApp Web. More features like enhanced Storage Usage, support for ShareChat, new clear chat features, etc. are being tested by WhatsApp.
