To do this, it is necessary to follow a simple step by step in order to know if they are spying on the posts. First of all, once inside the application, you must go where the three points are located in the upper right corner. Then touch the option “Paired devices” and then click “Device status”. Once there, the open sessions will appear in the computer main and also in other notebooks, for example.
Once this control has been carried out, it will be possible to check that the posts are being read from other devices.

Consequently, the customer who wants to activate this option for his computer must go to the “Linked devices” section and click “Beta version for several devices”.
