WhatsApp has today launched a web based client that will allow desktop users to use the app on their systems using a web browser. WhatsApp made the announcement in a blogpost <\/a>on its site.<\/p>\n

Today, for the first time, millions of you will have the ability to use WhatsApp on your web browser. Our web client is simply an extension of your phone: the web browser mirrors conversations and messages from your mobile device \u2014 this means all of your messages still live on your phone.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The rumors of a desktop based WhatsApp client were circling around over the internet for quite some time. Although it\u2019s not a native desktop application, the one which users have to install, instead it\u2019s a web based version of the app that users can use via a web browser on their PC.<\/p>\n

The web based version currently supports Chrome browser only but WhatsApp has promised that support for more browsers will be coming soon.<\/p>\n

Having a web based WhatsApp client to use on PC is great but there\u2019s a catch: the whole login process on desktop is a bit weird and tricky. What users have to do is<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Open the WhatsApp web app page<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  2. Launch the app on their respective devices (Android, iOS, Windows, BlackBerry)<\/li>\n
  3. Select \u2018WhatsApp Web\u2019 option from the Menu.<\/li>\n
  4. Now scan the QR Code displayed on the web app page to login.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Since WhatsApp main structure of signing is based on user\u2019s number and SMS verification, so it is necessary that user scans the QR Code from his\/her device.<\/p>\n

    There is no Apple Mac OS version though for WhatsApp. According to WhatsApp, there are certain platform limitations due to which there is no Mac OS version.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
