Check out this super news from the world's largest messaging app.

O Whatsapp finally released a feature that allows the messaging service to be used in multiple devices at the same time. The new features, announced a little while ago, will be available for Android and iOS systems.

With this new feature, you can use your account on up to four devices without having to connect your phone to an internet network. Check out more information.

Until July of this year, only the few people who had the beta version (used in tests) of the application installed on their cell phones were able to access the new features. Now more and more people (even with regular apps installed) are starting to notice a new feature in WhatsApp settings called “multiple appliances“.

On iPhone:

• First, open the WhatsApp application on your mobile phone;
