on your phone, you are going to love the fact that you're now also able
to use it on your desktop computer as well. Read this helpful guide to
find out all you need to know about using WhatsApp on a desktop
computer:
How it works
Before installing WhatsApp Web
to your desktop, there are a couple of pointers you should keep in mind
to fully understand how it works:
• WhatsApp Web is an extension of the regular mobile experience - it is not a replacement for it, nor does it require a different WhatsApp account to the one you use on your phone.
• This means that when you use WhatsApp on your computer and your phone, you're simply accessing the same account on two different devices.
• The messages you send and receive are fully synced between your phone and your computer, enabling you to see all the messages on both devices.
• Therefore, whatever action you take on your phone will be applied to WhatsApp Web, and vice versa.
To make the most out of WhatsApp Web, there are a couple of requirements:
• You still need the active mobile app installed on your phone to make use of it, as unlike other services (such as Skype), WhatsApp uses your cell number to identify you.
• You need to have a stable internet connection on both your phone and your computer.
• The WhatsApp Web app will not work if your phone is off.
• WhatsApp Web is available for Android, Windows Phone 8.0 and 8.1, Nokia S60, Nokea S40, Blackberry and Blackberry 10 smartphones.
• You must have the latest version of either the Chrome, Firefox, Opera or Safari web browsers to support the app. The Internet Explorer browser, is not supported, so if Internet Explorer is what you are currently using, download Chrome by following this link.
Getting started
• Once you have the latest version of Chrome or one of the other aforementioned browsers installed, you may proceed with installing WhatsApp Web.
• Open a new tab in Google Chrome and go to the WhatsApp Web site by clicking on this address: web.whatsapp.com
• The following page will pop up. The QR Code (the black and white box) is what is important here.

Using WhatsApp Web
The layout and design of WhatsApp Web is pretty simple. Upon launching the app on your desktop, you will see that messages appear in the mobile app thread instantaneously. You will also notice that WhatsApp Web mirrors the mobile experience - just on a larger scale.
To make the most out of WhatsApp Web, just follow these easy steps:
• To send a photo or a video, click the attachment button, located at the top of chat.
• To send a voice message, click the Microphone Button next to the text input box to begin recording.
You may also use emojis and view your contact list and so on, but you cannot as yet make calls.
To receive alerts of incoming messages on your computer, click on Allow, located at the top right corner of Chrome, when prompted.
