WhatsApp started forcing users to update to multi-device version

Earlier, WhatsApp added support for multi-device, a feature that WhatsApp users have been asking for for years. However, the multi-device feature was only available to select WhatsApp beta users. After a while, WhatsApp took it to a stable version, too.

Until now, the feature was based on opt-in choice, which meant you had to join a multi-device beta program from within the app to try it out. But that is changing now as WhatsApp has started forcing users to update to multiple device versions.

As seen by WABetainfo, WhatsApp has started releasing a new beta update that removes the opt-out option for multi-device, indicating a wide range of nearby releases. If you were part of a multi-device beta program, you can’t leave the system now.

For those who have never joined the program, the update will remove you from all your previously connected devices, forcing you to reconnect them using the multi-device feature. This change comes with the beta version of WhatsApp 2.21.23.10.

For those who don’t know, multi-device support allows users to access WhatsApp on other connected devices without having to have their primary smartphone connected to the internet. Users can connect up to 4 non-mobile devices.

That means you may not be able to use the same WhatsApp account on more than one phone, but you will be able to use the same account on WhatsApp Web, Desktop, and Portal at the same time.

WhatsApp Image Search feature

WhatsApp is releasing a new beta update for Android, which reveals that the company is developing a new feature that lets users search images on the web. The fresh beta update can be identified through version 2.24.21.31.

The Search images on the web feature of WhatsApp will allow users to check the authenticity of images they receive to make it easier to spot misleading or fake content.

When a user wants to search for an image, it will be uploaded to Google, which helps them find similar images or sources online to quickly get more information.

Notably, WhatsApp ensures privacy by not storing or processing these images. While the image is sent to Google for searching, it remains private and secure.

With this new feature, users will be able to use any image, whether sent by a friend or received in a forwarded message for search on the web to verify them online.

In addition to the image search, WhatsApp is also developing a feature to check links in frequently forwarded messages to verify their authenticity.

The image search feature is currently under development and will be available in a future update. Users can expect more information soon as WhatsApp continues to enhance its platform. Stay Tuned!

WhatsApp for Android is rolling out a new beta update with version 2.24.21.29, which comes with a handy call link feature. This update makes it easier for users to start calls in both individual and group chats.

With this new feature, users can easily generate call links without needing to go to the Calls tab. The call link shortcut is now located in the chat attachment menu. Previously, creating call links was a bit complicated since users had to go to the Calls tab to generate them.
