You may soon be able to use same WhatsApp number on more than one device

In the WhatsApp Web screen, where it shows the devices you have logged into, beta users can now see the text "Use WhatsApp on other devices" right below the 'Scan QR Code' option. This is a clear indication that multi-device support for WhatsApp is on the way. Additionally, WhatsApp on Android's main registration screen, WhatsApp will ask users to connect to a Wi-Fi network to save data, when you log in to another device. It also seems to throw a pop-up message that reads "Using mobile data may be slow and may use a large amount of your data plan." WABetaInfo suggests that it is possible WhatsApp might require transferring data from the main device to secondary for that reason it could have added a 'use Wi-Fi' warning message.

Separately, WhatsApp rolled out eight-person group calling limit for both iOS and Android. The new extended limit was initially spotted in a WhatsApp beta update and was recently confirmed by its parent company, Facebook. Once the app is updated, users can start a group call with seven others from contacts. Given the current COVID-19 lockdown, under which group video calling is becoming a necessity, this new limit should definitely be useful.
