Users will soon be able to link their existing WhatsApp account on Android with WhatsApp for iPad.

[{"selector":"#anim-fb2ff2b7-bc25-4316-afef-0dc4e01817db [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-28.90624987200394%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

WhatsApp for iPad is currently in development and not yet available to beta testers.

The recently rolled out 'companion mode' feature allows iPhone users to link their existing account to a second iOS device.

[{"selector":"#anim-952db311-ef6e-4a4c-941d-6d20d0d1dd99 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-14.849955656084243%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

With 'companion mode', users can link up to four devices simultaneously, expanding connectivity options.

[{"selector":"#anim-809bf1c2-924b-4270-be6a-84de2ff974bd [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-14.84758990138796%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

Personal messages and calls will remain end-to-end encrypted even when using WhatsApp from a linked device.

[{"selector":"#anim-7a0cbbf6-95a5-42e3-bfc7-dbb31757c908 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.289523495234523%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

Users can link their WhatsApp account to a secondary device by scanning a QR Code.

WhatsApp is reportedly testing a 'screen-sharing' feature for beta testers on Android.

[{"selector":"#anim-1e5c9982-5755-4398-8387-74e63cd2a7db [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.249999886225726%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

The 'screen-sharing' feature will enable users to share their screens during video calls.

[{"selector":"#anim-1ed87b94-60cd-4085-a9d0-b5a4a5574bae [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.249999886225726%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]
