Importantly, it is not just thebest Android phonesthat can benefit from this new Android tablet feature, either, but also any WhatsApp account locked to one of thebest iPhones, too. This means even if you have aniPhonemobile but Android tablet, you can sync your WhatsApp account across both devices.
According to the report, up to four devices can be synced with a WhatsApp account, which sounds plenty considering that can now include a desktop PC, laptopandtablet on top of the host phone.

The T3 take: A great feature upgrade for Android tablet users
WhatsApp is one of the mostpopularmessaging services on Earth, so the fact that Android tablet users have not been able to message their friends and family on their slate up till now has been far from optimal.
I personally, when running aSamsung Galaxy Tab S7+, have always had to make sure my phone is with me in terms of staying up to date with WhatsApp conversations, which meant switching between two devices at times frequently. So, the idea that soon I’ll be able to message people directly on my Android tablet is a great boon.

As the original report notes, this feature has already started landing with WhatsApp beta testers, so I am confident we will see a widespread, public release sooner rather than later. Naturally, when we get word on that public release we’ll let you know about it.
