One of the explosive new features of WhatsApp this year was “companion mode” or the ability to use the same WhatsApp account on two different phones. Like WhatsApp Web, but with the official app. It works very well, but when you use WhatsApp on a second mobile, has certain limits.
One of these disadvantages is that although you can see statuses created by other people, you couldn’t create your own states on additional mobile phones, for which you always had to use the main mobile phone. Finally, as announced by WaBetaInfo, this limitation is disappearing.
One less limitation for WhatsApp
WhatsApp now allows us to use our account on several phones at the same time without any tricks and with the official application. By doing this, our WhatsApp on the second mobile looks almost identical to the main mobile, but there are some differences and some features that are not available.
For example, from the second mobile you cannot create your avatar, send broadcast messages or share the location in real time, although there is a limitation that is about to disappear: that of create states.
Since the launch of WhatsApp companion mode, when using our account on a second mobile we couldn’t create states, something that the application finally adds and activates in the latest beta versions. According to WaBetaInfo, version 2.24.1.4 of the application already allows some users to post statuses from a secondary mobile.
Best of all, it works exactly the same as when we use WhatsApp on our main mobile phone, being able to write text or voice statuses or publish photos or videos recorded with the camera or that we already have on the mobile phone. So our WhatsApp on a second mobile will be even more similar to our WhatsApp on the main mobile.
