Use WhatsApp Web

WhatsApp web is the online web version of WhatsApp that allows you to access WhatsApp mobile features on the web. To use WhatsApp web on your PC simply follow the procedures below step by step:-

Requirements to use WhatsApp web

A supported web browser
An active WhatsApp account
Your whatsapp should be of a later and supported version

Note: Failure to meet some of these requirements may result in failure to connect WhatsApp to the Web version.

Step by Step guide to use WhatsApp web .

Open WhatsApp web in your desktop Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari or Edge browser

2. Scan the WhatsApp QR code using the WhatsApp application on your phone. To do this, follow these steps.

On Android: in the Chats screen > Menu > WhatsApp Web.
On iPhone: go to Settings > WhatsApp Web.
On Windows Phone: go to Menu > WhatsApp

3. Scan QR code on a computer using the mobile WhatsApp Qr code scanner.

After scanning the Qr code successfully, you’ll be automatically redirected to your WhatsApp chat screen on PC.

Note: 1. Due to browser limitations, some functions may be missing on your WhatsApp Web.

2. Whatsapp web does not allow more than one web session at a time. You’ll need to log out from one web to access the other.

For security reasons, you can also logout of your WhatsApp web account by following the steps below:-

Use WhatsApp on your phone . Go to Settings or Menu

And then tap Logout from all computers.

Download & install WhatsApp for PC .

WhatsApp for PC is a desktop software for both Windows 8, 10, and Mac PC to run WhatsApp on a user’s desktop. The application allows you to receive WhatsApp notifications on the desktop.

To use WhatsApp for PC, follow these procedures:-

Use WhatsApp on PC without bluestacks .

Bluestacks is another android emulator that allows you to install and access android mobile applications such as WhatsApp on PC.

However, the common limitation Bluestack has got is it can’t work for PCs with lesser requirements making it a slightly better option to use Whatsapp on PC.

In this section, we are going to see other options to use WhatsApp on a PC without necessarily installing Bluestacks. Follow the steps below: –

Download and install wassap for windows from the download link

2. After downloading, install it on your PC.

3. Now open Wassap and enter your mobile number and password.

4. Then click Register. If you are already available on WhatsApp then you need to just log in with your id and password.

5. That’s all. You can now be able to enjoy WhatsApp on your PC without bluestacks.

Important Point to note

I recommend you create your account through your smartphone and then login in wassap. I’m saying this because it happens most of the time that Whatsapp shows some kind of error. But overall it is an excellent software for using Whatsapp service on your system.
