WhatsApp will soon work without your phone
One of the major hassles while using WhatsApp Web is that you need to keep your phone connected to the internet. To avoid this inconvenience, popular messaging platform WhatsApp has been working on multi-device support for some time now. WhatsApp is now preparing a beta testing program for WhatsApp Web. The testing program, which will soon be available to Android and iOS users running beta versions of WhatsApp will enable users to use WhatsApp Web without having to keep their phones connected to the internet.
As per the WABetaInfo website, you can link up to four desktop devices if you participate in the beta program. The screenshots shared by the tipster hinted that many features of WhatsApp Web like Delete for Everyone might not work for users once they join the WhatsApp Web Beta program.
