WhatsApp has now made it so that you can use WhatsApp Web without having to connect your phone. This enables users to use the web version of this messaging platform regardless of whether or not it is active one their mobile device, something that might improve its accessibility from a wide range of perspectives.
With all of that having been said and now out of the way, it is important to note that the fact that you can now have several linked devices for a single WhatsApp account has created a few problems. One of these problems is that your devices might not be synced correctly with certain messages that are visible on some devices not being visible on others.
This can be problematic because of the fact that this is the sort of thing that could potentially end up making it somewhat difficult for users to keep their conversations in order. Hence, WhatsApp, as per WABI, is now rolling out a feature that will automatically log you out of other devices once you sync to a new one.
That will result in a situation wherein your WhatsApp will sync up when you log back in. Straightening out syncing among devices is crucial with all things having been considered and taken into account. Users need to be able to rely on WhatsApp having all of their conversations stored in a way that is chronologically accurate, and this will ensure that such a thing remains possible.
The ability to use a messaging platform independently on numerous devices is something that some WhatsApp competitors have managed to do quite effectively, so it was only a matter of time before WhatsApp added this feature to their own platform. The timing might be perfect because it has managed to stave off mass user migration to a wide range of other messaging apps which would have been ruinous for WhatsApp.
