WhatsApp's latest update for iPhones brings 'Companion Mode', a feature that lets you use the same account on multiple devices.
WhatsApp Companion Mode essentially lets you use the same WhatsApp account on multiple devices at the same time. This is currently possible with your phone and desktop or laptop but you need an active internet connection and both devices to be nearby to use WhatsApp. With Companion Mode, you can use WhatsApp independently on your other devices.
WhatsApp has also made a small update to disappearing messages with the latest update. iPhone users can now save important messages when this feature is turned on. You can do this by long pressing on a message and choosing 'keep' to save the message. WhatsApp status has also been updated with new fonts and background colours. More features in this update include GIFs playing automatically without having to tap them, and the option to add a WhatsApp call link to the iOS Calendar app.
The new WhatsApp update is available on the App Store so you can download it right away. But you might not see the features just yet as WhatsApp said it will roll out over the coming weeks.
