WhatsApp can finally be used without a smartphone

Every WhatsApp user is already aware of this terrible situation: your phone is running without battery and it is not possible to use WhatsApp continuously from laptop. Fortunately, the update to the operating system should make the desktop application stand out. You will soon be able to use this support only, without interfering with the operation of your smartphone.

On Wednesday, July 14, 2021, Galaxy Facebook’s member company announced the first phase of testing for a limited number of users. These lucky ones will then be able to use WhatsApp on a maximum of four devices except phones. The company has made changes to the structure of WhatsApp, but it is still based on the signal protocol, which the company invented and the use of the same name.

“Until July 14, 2021, a user can have multiple devices, each with their own encryption keys., The company explains. If the device’s encryption keys are compromised, the attacker will not be able to encrypt messages sent to other devices, even devices registered for the same user. WhatsApp also uses end-to-end encryption for the history of messages exchanged between devices when a user registers a new device. ”

Data no longer needs to go through the smartphone to access another device. This test is currently underway with a small group of users of WhatsApp’s beta program. “We will continue to improve performance and add some additional features step by step before using them in detail.”, Indicates Communication Of the company.
