WhatsApp usage without phone
The makers have confirmed that this feature will be released as a beta version and it will be circulated only to a small group of users. This is because the makers want to identify and fix all the minor bugs and issues that could show up while using this new feature.
WhatsApp’s main feature, End-to-end encryption will also be available while using this feature. A blog post about this feature was released on the company’s official website.
In that post, Facebook engineers suggested that the software design of WhatsApp needs a complete change. They say this because the app is currently using a smartphone app as the primary device.
This makes the phone the source of truth for all user data and the only device capable of end-to-end encrypting messages for another user or initiating calls. And the content shown on WhatsApp Web is basically a mirror image of the phone app.
Head of WhatsApp, Will Cathcart recently took to his Twitter account to write that they are very excited to be launching a beta of their new multi-device capability for WhatsApp. This means that the users can now use their desktop or web experiences even when their phone isn’t active and connected to the internet.
All of this is going to be secured with end-to-end encryption. Seeing such a feature being added is not surprising as other competitors like Signal have already started using this feature. Apart from this, no other information has been released by the makers. Keep an eye out for any updates about the new WhatsApp feature on their social media handles.
