With this change, you won't need your phone to stay online in order to use the web version. It will be also possible to connect 4 more additional devices so you won't need to scan the WhatsApp QR code each time when you switch devices.
This feature is currently in beta and was rolled out to a very limited number of beta users recently. This time it was rolled out to more beta testers. You can opt-in directly in the app and after that, your active web session will be also refreshed automatically.
How to join Multy-device beta program on WhatsApp:

- Tap on the Linked devices option.
- See the "Try new improvements" banner and press OK.
