WhatsApp is rolling out the multi-device capability for Android and iOS users but due to this a lot of users are being told that their security codes have changed. So what could this mean? As per WhatsApp, the security code change is expected during the early roll-out stages of the multi-device feature. The feature allows users to link upto four linked devices without requiring the phone to be connected.

Wabetainfo, which tracks all the WhatsApp-related updates, noted in a tweet that the messaging app is planning to send notifications about security code changes when the user re-registers the account on a new phone. The tipster says that WhatsApp will not notify when the user removes or links devices.
