Instant messaging app WhatsApp rolled out multi-device feature for beta users in July. According to a report by WABetaInfo, now the company has finally made available this feature for non-beta users. Users can now use their WhatsApp on any other phone, laptop, and desktop, even if the phone is not active.
According to the report, the version number of this latest update of WhatsApp is 2.21.19.9. It has been rolled out for stable version users of Android as well as iOS.
