Discovered on WhatsApp for Android beta version 2.22.15.13 update, this chat sync feature will allow users to use other handsets without having to log out of their current ones.
WhatsApp is reportedly working on a new feature that allows users to sync chats between two smartphones. Discovered in WhatsApp beta version 2.22.15.13 for Android, this feature needs to be deployed as part of a future update to help messaging platforms extend multi-device capabilities.
WhatsApp hasn’t revealed the details yet and doesn’t explain exactly how this feature works after it’s available to users. It turns out that Meta-owned messaging platforms previously operated in “companion mode.” This suggests that it may support chat synchronization between devices.
Discovered by WABetaInfo in beta version 2.22.15.13 for Android phones, this “companion mode” is currently being tested. This feature allows users to connect two smartphones and sync chat history between mobile devices.
Currently, both iOS and Android users can sync their smartphones with their laptops and their computers with the web version of WhatsApp. This new mode will change that. This companion mode for the
smartphone is under development and will be integrated into the Android app later via an update, according to reports. The report adds that WhatsApp is working to add the same system messages available on WhatsApp Web. If you don’t know what this system message is, the message you see when you open the app on your desktop tells you that the message is synced between your devices. This is understandable because the process is time consuming.
In May of this year, WhatsApp was reported to be testing a companion mode feature that allows users to connect their secondary smartphone to their primary handset. This feature was first discovered in Android beta version 2.22.10.13.
Reportedly, users receive a full-screen prompt alert when enrolling a companion device in their master account. When the user pairs the second phone with another registered account, the report reports that they were signed out of the original WhatsApp account that was configured with the companion handset. The report added that this companion mode can delete all locally stored messages and data. This mode is currently under development for Android devices.
