WhatsApp has announced that the company will soon introduce a new feature that will allow users to use the messaging application on many devices without an active internet connection.

According to reports, WhatsApp's multi-device feature is currently in development and will be launched in the next two months for both Android and iOS testers.

According to a technology report, WhatsApp head Will Cathcart and WhatsApp CEO Mark Zuckerberg have also confirmed that the multi-device feature will be introduced very soon.

Note that, to ensure a good product, it might also take a bit longer, because release dates can change during the development, but two months is their main goal.
