MAJOR FLAW - Allow Whatsapp to be signed into more than 1 portal at a time
Currently Whatsapp signs out of my lounge portal TV when i use my portal mini in the kitchen and visa versa, it is not feasible to constantly sign in to one or the other depending on where i am in the house. I would like both to ring when someone calls. Please confirm this is being worked on otherwise i will send one device back, as to me this is a major flaw that needs to be addressed, especailly for people outside the US who mainly use Whatsapp rather than messenger.

A notification now appears on disconnected portals (top right corner) prompting the user to sign back into WhatsApp. You don't have to re-pair the Portal with WhatsApp, you can just click the notification and click reconnect. Not perfect, but better.

WhatsApp has always had this problem; if you sign in on one device, you are signed out on another. The only exception is that you can be signed in on your phone (in fact HAVE to be) and signed in on the web.WhatsApp.com interface. But if you open it in another browser, out you go from the first one.

Yup - surely this is a basic requirement. My second Portal device to keep my Portal TV company is on the way, I will need them both to be active, and then I choose the closest one to be to accept the call / video

This is a horrible and unacceptable flaw in WhatsApp since its beginning. It's way overdue for multi-device support.

Elderly users don't know to log in to wherever they are all the time, even normal users don't expect to have to do this if they move around the house!

Yes, please add the ability to sign in to multiple portals with WhatsApp, just like for FB Messenger, which works fine on both but nobody calls me on FB Messenger!
