A couple of months ago, we blogged that WhatsApp will be rolling out a new feature that allows you to access your account on multiple devices that will continue to work regardless of whether the "primary" phone is in range / switched on.

As you may or may not be aware, most internet connections in the UK use a system called Fibre To The Cabinet (FTTC) at the moment.

Let's see if we can help with that.

In "barely noticable but quite important" news, users of Google's Chrome brower will be familar with the padlock icon that displays next to a website address when it's using a secure connection. This will not be the case soon. We explain what will be changing and why in this blog.
