Last news about multi-device was about the companion mode. The companion mode will allow users to link a secondary mobile device to their WhatsApp account without requiring an active Internet connection on the main device in order to send messages. Today, thanks to the new WhatsApp beta for Android 2.22.15.13 update, we have discovered that WhatsApp is working on syncing the chat history across mobile devices:
When users log into WhatsApp from a secondary mobile device, their chats are securely copied to the companion device. This process may take a while to complete, so WhatsApp is working on adding the same system message available on WhatsApp Web/Desktop: it explains that chats are still in sync so old messages are momentarily not available.
Unfortunately, we don’t know when WhatsApp plans to release the companion mode since this feature is still under development. There will be another article when the feature is released to beta testers.
