WhatsApp, the Meta-owned popular messaging app, has rolled out its latest update, paving way exclusively for a new feature to an account's linked devices. 

The new feature enables users to access and manage Channels from their connected devices, ensuring a seamless experience across multiple devices.

This long-awaited feature allows users to access and manage Channels from their linked devices. It brings a seamless experience for users who frequently switch between devices, eliminating the need to rely on the primary device for interactions on Channels. With this feature, users can now enjoy the same functionality across all their mobile devices, making it more accessible and convenient.

Previously, users could only manage Channels from their primary devices, resulting in a disjointed experience. This limitation forced users to switch between devices to access their Channels feature, causing inconvenience and frustration. 

However, with the latest update, users can now access Channels from their connected mobile devices, ensuring a consistent experience across both Android and iOS platforms. 

The Channels feature for linked devices is currently available to some beta testers having installed the latest WhatsApp beta update for Android and iOS. The feature is expected to roll out to more users in the coming days, bringing an additional layer of accessibility to the app. 

This update is a game changer for multi-device users who want to stay connected and engaged with their favourite channels on multiple devices. 

By enabling support for Channels on linked devices, WhatsApp ensures that users can access and engage with their favorite content without restriction.
