As part of the development of a feature allowing the use of a WhatsApp account on several Android devices, the messaging application also wishes to offer the possibility to its users to synchronize the history of their conversations between these different devices, reports WABetaInfo.
This new feature was spotted in the WhatsApp for Android beta version update (2.22.15.13).
Users should therefore soon be able to access all of their conversations on another device.
No deployment date announced
But this process may take more or less time depending on the number and size of exchanges.
During synchronization, WhatsApp will display a message identical to that which can already be seen on the web version of the application: "Chats are still synchronizing, old messages are temporarily unavailable".
This functionality will be integrated into the future Companion mode, currently under development.
It is a mode to link WhatsApp account to other mobile devices without an active internet connection on the primary device in order to send messages.
WhatsApp had indicated last June that the application could work on four devices at the same time, without specifying a date of deployment of this feature eagerly awaited by users.
