Multi-device BETA feature

[xaliander]

Hi everyone,
as mentioned by tomer8007, there is currently no support for the new Multi-device BETA feature.
So far there was no issue listed with respect to this, so here we are.
Best,
Alex

when the extension get update for multi device feature?
thanks

This will take some time as this feature is using the Noise Protocol and Signal, as the iOS/Android clients do.

Unfortunately, in 7 days there will be a forceful update.

@arrichter Where did you read this information? Fortunately right now most of the mutli-device support is already implemented, so at worst it will just not be perfect.

In my WhatsApp Web in the top left corner in yellow it says:
"Update WhatsApp Web
This version expires in 6 days. Update to use WhatsApp Web without keeping your phone online.
Get Update >"

[tomer8007]

I don't see this warning. Which version are you on? I'm on 2.2140.7.

[xaliander]

Version 2.2140.7

[tomer8007]

And your mobile application is in the newest version as well? What happens when you click "Get Update"?

[xaliander]

Yes. It opens and tell's me:
"New WhatsApp Web available
Your phone will no longer need to stay online to use WhatsApp on web, desktop or other devices. Lean more
This update will log out WhatsApp Web, and you can link immediately with your phone.
CANCEL / UPDATE

Thank you for your work and dedication to this project!

I noticed that there are still some bugs in the multi-device version, it seems that contacts are working perfectly. But the groups still have errors when viewing, even after pressing "read" the message appears as unread. And even after sending messages the group appears as unread.
I also noticed that it happens even activating the timing, it is marked as read, but it goes back to the messages as if they were not read.

@9Datenshi I did not do much tests for groups, so this makes sense. Please open a separate issue for this, I'll try to fix it.
@manueldeprada You can email me (it's listed in the web store).
