WhatsApp is rumored to be able to use the same account across platforms

According to WABetaInfo: WhatsApp is developing a new system that allows the same WhatsApp account to be used on multiple devices at the same time. We know that WhatsApp accounts are not independent. When logging in to each system, you need to use the main account that has been logged in on the mobile phone and use the scan code to log in to the account on other devices, and only one account can be logged in on multiple PCs at the same time. This is somewhat similar to WeChat. In fact, WhatsApp is completely based on the mobile Internet, and it does not put much emphasis on the PC version. It mainly uses a web framework, and it can be said that there is not much support for tablets. The picture accompanying the historical article has expired With the new multi-platform system, this means: Use your main WhatsApp account on iPad without uninstalling from iPhone (an iPad version is not yet available). You can use the same WhatsApp account simultaneously on iOS and Android devices, or even on separate devices with the same system. Use WhatsApp on your computer (no need to use your phone to access the internet), use a UWP app (which is one of the reasons to start developing it). It's apparently possible to use the same account on Windows Phone (with the help of Windows Universal App Platform) and WhatsApp for Windows (always the Universal Windows App Platform (UWP) version). The picture accompanying the historical article has expired WABetaInfo revealed that this system is currently under development and there is currently no timetable for release. In fact, he was unable to provide any evidence or screenshots to support his statement, but several months of observation and early use of various Beta versions allowed him to reach this conclusion; because there was no evidence, he called his judgment hearsay. WABetaInfo has made many successful predictions before: In May 2017, it was predicted that WhatsApp would adopt Facebook’s basic framework; In April 2017, it was predicted that WhatsApp would launch a WhatsApp Enterprise version for small and medium-sized business owners; In January 2018, it was predicted that a tablet (android system) version of WhatsApp was under development; In March 2018, it was predicted that WhatsApp would launch a KaiOS version; In April 2019, it was predicted that WhatsApp would launch an iPad version;(This is still not confirmed); In May 2019, it was predicted that WhatsApp would launch a UWP version;The picture accompanying the historical article has expired influence This is a major adjustment. Perhaps WhatsApp has used Facebook's underlying framework this time and made major changes to the account system. It supports the simultaneous online information of multiple devices. The synchronization of information requires the identification of devices, which will also pose higher challenges to WhatsApp's servers. There will also be many changes to WhatsApp’s security encryption system. We know that Telegram supports simultaneous login of multiple accounts on multiple platforms, and messages are completely synchronized on various platforms. This improvement of WhatsApp is a bit of a tribute to Telegram. The editor believes that the ability to send messages to strangers is a unique feature of WhatsApp and may be removed from this version.
