The current situation with the multi-device support on WhatsApp allows you to use the messaging app via WhatsApp Web and applications on your desktop and requires you to have an active internet connection on your main device. This essentially is a mirroring feature. True multidevice support will extend the ability to use a specific WhatsApp account on various devices without the need to have the main device connected to the internet. Rumours have it that WhatsApp multi-device support will allow up to four devices and one smartphone to run on a single account.
