‘Companion Mode’ Enables Offline Access to WhatsApp Chats on Secondary Devices: Synced Chat History and Limitations for Beta Testers Revealed (Meta-owned WhatsApp)
WhatsApp has extended its ‘Companion Mode’ feature to all beta testers on Android, allowing users to link their existing WhatsApp account to a secondary mobile phone and access their chats on the second device without needing an active internet connection on their main phone. This feature also syncs the chat history across all linked devices. However, some features, such as managing broadcast lists and posting status updates from the linked device, may still be unavailable for beta testers, as reported.
WhatsApp has introduced a new feature that allows users to add and edit contacts within the app on Android. This feature is currently available for some beta testers using the latest beta version of WhatsApp, with a wider rollout planned in the coming days.
With this in-app contact management feature, users can add and edit contacts directly within WhatsApp without needing to leave the app. This makes it more convenient for users to manage their contacts and update their address book without switching between multiple apps. It streamlines the process of adding or editing contacts for seamless communication within WhatsApp.
This feature is expected to be well-received by users who frequently add or edit contacts, making it easier and more efficient to manage their contacts directly within the WhatsApp app on Android.
