The WhatsApp chat application currently works on laptops and desktop computers, but it does not allow the user to use the application on another secondary phone. However, this will change with the fundamental modifications that the application is currently making to its service, a change that has been long requested by users who have a backup phone.

For a long time, it was only possible to use WhatsApp on a computer if your phone was connected to the internet and linked to the device.

It now appears that WhatsApp - owned by Meta - is testing a feature that allows linking another smartphone as well, as an image showing this change appeared inside a beta version of WhatsApp.

The amazing feature was revealed by experts at WABetaInfo, a site specializing in revealing beta versions of applications.

The image shows the following text: "Register the device to use WhatsApp on another device."

"Open WhatsApp on your phone. Click on the menu or settings and select linked devices."

"Point your phone at this screen to scan the code."

To benefit from this feature currently, two conditions must be met:

The first is that you have two phones, and the second is that you have been accepted into the WhatsApp beta version. Otherwise, you will have to wait until it is released to the public, which may take weeks, months, or even years depending on how the update is launched.

But if it is launched soon, the app will open up to millions of additional devices.

If you want to join WhatsApp beta to try the beta version of the update, follow these steps:

To download WhatsApp beta for your smartphone, you must go to Google Play on an Android device and search for the WhatsApp application.

Scroll down the page until you see the phrase "Become a beta tester."

Click on the "Join me" button and then click "Join" to confirm.

Now all you have to do is wait for the update to the beta version of the app.
