The WhatsApp messaging application is preparing a new function known as multi-device 2.0, which will allow new equipment to be linked to a mobile device and which for the first time represents the arrival of a specific app for tablets.

Several specialized sources spoke about the latest developments WhatsApp is working on as part of its new 2.0 multi-device mode, with which users can link Android tablets and iPads.

This function, still under development, allows for the first time the operation of the messaging app on tablets without the need to use its web version, but through a specific app for these devices.

Also, the WhatsApp tablet application will work independently, and users who use the beta of the iOS phone app will automatically receive the new version in the future.

On May 15, the new WhatsApp Conditions and Privacy policy will come into force. This date users will not lose the account in the messaging service if they do not accept new policies but will face some restrictions concerning its functions.

The company will begin to show the message again about the changes it will make with the new policies, focusing on the data that WhatsApp collects from users and their treatment, as well as the way in which businesses can use Facebook’s hosted services to store and manage their chats.

Users must accept the changes before they come into force, on May 15, a requirement to be able to continue using WhatsApp fully, but whose rejection does not mean the loss of the account, as indicated by the company in the official blog.

However, users will not have “access to all the functions of WhatsApp until they accept the policies“, as they explain. This means that, for “a short time”, they will be able to receive calls and notifications, but they will not be able to read or send messages from the application.

The company remembers in its blog that users can accept the new policies “even after May 15”, and in this case, it will apply the related policy regarding “inactive users”. It also notes that users can export chat history and download a report from their account, or ultimately delete the account.
