According to a report from WABeta info, a website that tracks WhatsApp, once the feature is rolled out, users' chats will be securely copied to the companion device when they log into the Meta-owned instant messaging app from a secondary mobile device.

"WhatsApp is working on adding the same system message available on WhatsApp Web/Desktop: it explains that chats are still in sync so old messages are momentarily not available." However, the release date of the feature is still not known as it is under the development stage," the website wrote in a post. 

In related news, WhatsApp is now introducing a new called "flash calls". It is an alternative method to log into WhatsApp for Android without manually entering a 6-digit code. 
The ability to use flash calls is an alternative method to log into WhatsApp without manually entering a 6-digit code because the process is almost automatic, the WABetaInfo, a website that tracks WhatsApp, said in a report.

 "How to use flash calls as automatic verification on WhatsApp? The feature called "flash calls" is an alternative method to log into WhatsApp for Android without manually entering a 6-digit code," the website wrote on Twitter. 

Thanks to flash calls, WhatsApp will call your phone number and then immediately end the call: if the last phone number in your call history is the same phone number that should call you to give a 6-digit code, WhatsApp will automatically log into your account.

According to the report, when you try to log into WhatsApp and you do not receive a 6-digit code via SMS for some reason, you can choose to receive a call. In this case, you can also choose to enable flash calls to make the process automatic, but it is needed to allow WhatsApp to read your call history in order to enable the feature.
