WhatsApp Web – web.whatsapp.com
WhatsApp Web allows you to seamlessly use your WhatsApp account on your desktop or tablet in addition to your mobile device. With WhatsApp Web, you can send and receive messages, view media, and more from the convenience of a larger screen and keyboard.
WhatsApp Web is not a separate account – it simply allows you to access your existing WhatsApp account from a web browser. Any messages or activity on WhatsApp Web will sync immediately with the WhatsApp app on your phone. This makes it easy to switch between devices without missing anything.
How to use WhatsApp Web on PC?
Using WhatsApp Web is quick and easy. Just follow these steps:
- On your mobile device, open the WhatsApp app and go to Settings > WhatsApp Web/Desktop.
- On your computer, go to web.whatsapp.com in a web browser like Chrome or Firefox.
- You’ll see a QR code on the computer screen. Use the WhatsApp app to scan this code.
- That’s it! Your WhatsApp account is now synced to the browser.
You’ll see all your existing chats and can start sending messages, sharing photos/videos, and using WhatsApp just like on your mobile app. Any new message or activity will show up on both devices.
How to logout from WhatsApp Web?
