According to a new post by WABetaInfo, WhatsApp’s multi-device feature is set to launch in a few short months for beta testers on iOS and Android, and will allow for up to four devices and a single smartphone to be linked to your WhatsApp account. 9To5Google notes that support for multi-device support will be limited to WhatsApp Web, WhatsApp Desktop, and the Facebook Portal smart display.

If you were hoping to be able to use your WhatsApp account across both an iOS and Android-powered phone, then you likely are disappointed to hear this news. It is unclear if the company will change how multi-device support works in the future, but for now, this appears to be how WhatsApp plans to address the long-awaited feature.
