According to WhatsApp, the entire architecture of messaging had to be “rethinked”, from turning the smartphone as the main device “reflected” in complementary devices, to ensuring that each device maintains its own level and, most of all, a secure connection.
This is how WhatsApp works today
To achieve this, WhatsApp ensures that it has developed new technologies that allow to maintain end-to-end encryption and at the same time achieve synchronization of messages, contacts, premium messages and other aspects of the messenger, to achieve a consistent WhatsApp experience, regardless of the device used.
This is how WhatsApp will work with the new multi-device support
In this way, full synchronization of the message history is achieved, even if WhatsApp is used from different devices, because it is the same messaging account.
The chat history is encrypted and delivered through an end-to-end encrypted message to the new associated device, which is responsible for downloading, decrypting and unpacking the file to store messages locally on the new device. The company says that encrypted messages are not transmitted or stored on WhatsApp servers. Finally, syncing of other aspects of WhatsApp, such as new contacts or when a chat is muted or archived, will be continuous to keep the WhatsApp experience homogeneous from all linked devices.
