According to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, WhatsApp will soon enable many devices at the same time. In addition, the instant messaging software intends to deploy a new ‘disappearing messages' feature. Both of the future features are detailed here.
The multi-device support will be arriving on the platform soon. Although an exact release date was not disclosed, multi-device support elements have been spotted in WhatsApp’s private Beta versions for quite a while now.
It’s been a big technical challenge to get all your messages and content to sync properly across devices even when your phone battery dies, but we’ve solved this and we’re looking forward to getting it out soon!” Zuckerberg said.
WhatsApp head Will Cathcart had earlier said that users will be able to connect to up to four devices simultaneously using WhatsApp’s multi-device feature. Suggested that a dedicated WhatsApp app for the iPad is also in the works.
