WhatsApp has allowed companion devices for a while now — like the web portal, Windows client, Mac client. However, for the system to work, you had to keep your phone online at all times. This requirement put WhatsApp at a disadvantage compared to Telegram, which has made its other companion apps — on Windows, Mac, other phones — nearly as powerful as the phone companion app.

The multi-device program is WhatsApp’s attempt to make companion applications as independent and powerful as their source — the mobile app. Before the launch of multi-device, users not only had to configure all companion applications through the WhatsApp phone app on their mobile, but also had to keep their phone connected to the internet at all times. Losing connectivity also rendered the companion applications useless.
