Side-by-side view splits the screen, can result in a smaller area for each conversation, especially on devices with smaller screens.

In addition, some users would like to have the traditional single-window view and may find the side-by-side view inconvenient. WhatsApp is now rolling out a toggle to disable the side-by-side view.

WhatsApp is enabling the feature for Android tablet users for an upcoming update.
