This feature will essentially let users log out from the different devices their WhatsApp account is connected to. The report further stated that one can connect up to 4 different devices to your main WhatsApp account and this limit might change in future and this type doesn’t require an active Internet connection on the main phone as well.

This feature currently works without issues for both WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business, and it is basically available on the latest WhatsApp beta for iOS but it’s not visible to public beta users yet. WhatsApp is also expected to roll out for Android, WABetaInfo reported.

Meanwhile, WhatsApp has also reportedly started rolling out new feature that would enable users to mute videos before sending. Users can mute videos by tapping on the volume toggle, available in the section where users usually edit the video.
