We know, since last summer's last year, that WhatsApp runs a function that lets you use the messaging app on multiple devices at the same time. Since the first rumors surfaced about this feature, we continue to find clues and details of its operation, even though it seemed like a long way off to the application.

But that seems to have changed. As they confirm in the portal WaBetaInfo, the latest beta version of WhatsApp available on Android including part of the work that, in the not-too-distant future – hopefully – will allow you to use the same WhatsApp account on multiple devices at the same time.

Apart from this, all shows will be allowed Use cellular data network As a separate option, though, the app warns that the process can consume large amounts of data, in addition to being done in a slow way.
