Previously, when the three vertical points were pressed in the upper right corner of the mobile app, the option 'WhatsApp Web' was observed. Now it was replaced by 'Linked Devices', which belongs to the 'Multi-Device Mode' function that was announced a few months ago by Mark Zuckerberg himself for the WabetaInfo web portal.

It is important to clarify that at the moment this tool only works for users who have the Beta version of WhatsApp, whether it is a mobile device with Apple's Android or iOS operating system. Otherwise, the 'Linked Devices' option will only be used to connect to WhatsApp.
