Currently, when the mobile runs out of battery or does not find a sufficiently powerful WiFi network, the web version of WhatsApp could not be used either. But now the instant messaging application has activated a function with an open beta that allows receiving and sending messages from its web extension without the need for the mobile phone to be turned on or connected to a wireless network.

The platform has created the multi-device option to all users through the ‘Linked Devices’ option, which offers the beta version for various devices.
So we can access WhatsApp Web without having to turn on the mobile
Once this version has been activated, the multi-device operation is the same. The user must scan the QR code from an external device to launch the WhatsApp application on it. When you launch this version test from your tablet or computer, the word ‘beta’ will automatically appear at the top of the web page, next to your profile picture.
And the steps we need to follow to join the multi-device beta are:
Open WhatsApp and tap the three-dot plus options icon on Android or ‘Settings’ on iOS.
Select the ‘Linked Devices’ option.
From there, select ‘Beta version for various devices’.
Finally, you will have to press ‘join beta version’
There are some limitations
According to WhatsApp, there are some limitations, since the ‘app’ reports that:
Performance and quality may be affected.
You cannot make calls or send messages from the web, desktop or Portal to users who do not have an updated version of this service on their mobile.
This function is available on both iOS and Android and guarantees synchronization between the devices that have the application open, so that if several messages are received they will also appear on the computer as long as the WhatsApp Web application is open and you have a good connection.
