WhatsApp multi-device support: In the recent development of events, Facebook’s chief executive Mark Zuckerberg announced that Whatsapp can soon be used simultaneously on multiple devices.
The instant messaging app also plans to add more functionality to the app, especially in the disappearing message section, top executives said.
In an interaction with WaBetaInfo, a WhatsApp-related news outlet, Zuckerberg confirmed that multi-device support will be arriving soon on the app.
Cathcart, WhatsApp head said that users will then be able to connect up to devices to a single Whatsapp account. Whatsapp also revealed that they are planning to release a dedicated WhatsApp for iPad.
