How to use WhatsApp on a computer
We are often asked how to run WhatsApp on a tablet or computer.
This feature is really very useful, but for some reason WhatsApp has not yet implemented such functionality of its messenger. Let me remind you, the most popular in the world! Perhaps the developers are already happy with everything, or it's just their life position, but this is not normal. I would love to use WhatsApp if I was given cross-platform and the ability to conveniently send files. Actually, what Telegram had almost from the very beginning. Well, okay, this is a lyrical digression. Today I will tell you how you can still run WhatsApp on any computer. There is nothing complicated about this, but not everyone knows about it. nine0003
The most popular instant messenger in the world according to many ratings.

What are the advantages of WhatsApp
Many people love WhatsApp for its simplicity.
Somehow everything in it is simple and user-friendly. There are no complications with groups, channels, sending files and stickers. A pure Kalashnikov assault rifle - just install and use. nine0003
However, why can't this functionality be transferred to a computer? Just write applications for MacOS and Windows and that's it. People will say thank you and will use this messenger with even greater pleasure. And if you make applications for tablets, then there will be no price for you guys.
Instead, the developers and executives of WhatsApp know themselves that they crumple and do not release a full-fledged client for anything other than smartphones. How can you get around this flaw?
How to install WhatsApp for a computer
First of all, you need to understand that you do not have to install anything on your computer. The only exception will be the computer from which you have never accessed the Internet and which does not have a browser installed. For this computer, you will only need to install any browser.
The essence of WhatsApp on a computer lies precisely in the WEB version of the messenger . You open https://web.whatsapp.com and you will be prompted to scan a QR code. Next, you need to launch the WhatsApp application on your phone and click on the three dots in the upper right corner. nine0003
How to set up WhatsApp Web on Android.
In the drop-down menu, select the WhatsApp Web item and then scan the QR code (we have already talked about the benefits of these codes and their history) from the computer screen. The connection will be established almost instantly.
If you have an iPhone, you will need to go to the application settings, select “WhatsApp Web” there and then scan the QR code from the computer screen in the same way.
How to set up WhatsApp Web on iPhone.
Previously, this feature only worked when you were on the same Wi-Fi network. Now, in most cases, you can use this method, even if the smartphone is connected via a cellular network, and the computer via a fixed Wi-Fi.
The only good thing about the Web version of WhatsApp is that it will warn you if your smartphone is running out of battery. There are no more advantages in this complicated method, and it is much easier to run applications like Telegram and use the messenger calmly. If you use Telegram, subscribe to our news channel. nine0003
However, I came from afar. Whatsapp has an app, but it's more like some kind of mockery.
Is it possible to download WhatsApp on a computer
You can download WhatsApp for any computer as a separate application from the official site WhatsApp.com. But only after downloading and installing you will immediately receive a painfully familiar warning.
Scanned the code and you can use it.
You will once again be told how to scan a QR code through an application on a smartphone. Personally, I think that this is some kind of mockery. Okay, the browser version works with such a scan, but why can't you change something and make a normal application, I can't understand.
nine0003
Even if you can't do that, why write an application? You can safely use the web version.
Applications for all devices can be downloaded from the WhatsApp website.
How to send a file via WhatsApp on a computer
You are not limited to just the text in your messages that you send via WhatsApp on a computer. You can also send files. To do this, click on the paperclip icon in the upper right corner of the chat and you can choose between different types of attachments. The Photos & Videos icon lets you add files you've already saved to your hard drive, but you can also use the camera button to take new shots. You also have the option to send documents (any other file type). nine0003
We know how to save your smartphone's battery. For example, how to reduce battery consumption in WhatsApp on Android.
Can I use WhatsApp on multiple devices
You can use WhatsApp on multiple devices but only if one of them is a smartphone and the other is a connected computer.
In other cases, if you log in on several computers, with each new attempt to log in, your old device will “fall off”. You can only run WhatsApp on one computer. nine0003
While trying to do this on the second computer that was authorized in the service, you will receive a notification that the session needs to be hijacked. As soon as you click the corresponding button, it will be completed on the other computer.
WhatsApp for Android has received an update with a night theme. How to turn on?
This may be for security reasons so that no one else can use your account, but I think there is a better way to fight privacy. And at the same time, make sure that people feel comfortable using this, generally good, messenger. nine0003
Let's do a little poll. Answer in the special form below, whichever you prefer to use. I will not specifically include the “several” option, since we all use more than one messenger. Just choose the one you like best or use the most.

How to use WhatsApp on a computerBy installing the WhatsApp application on your smartphone, you can use all the features of this messenger to the fullest: free audio and video calls, text and voice messages, sharing videos, photos and other files. But one phone is not enough for users, so they have a question: is it possible to install WhatsApp on a computer and how to use it. You can really install the application on your computer, and now you don’t even need an emulator for this. nine0003
Is it possible to download whatsapp to a computer?
Of course you can. Previously, for this it was necessary to install a special android emulator, but now such difficulties are not needed, although they are not prohibited.

- On the smartphone, we carry out the same actions as for the web version: in chats, select the WhatsApp Web item, read the code, authorization on the computer will be automatic.
- To keep WhatsApp running on PC, do not exit the application on your phone.
Bluestacks
What should I do if WhatsApp is not installed on my computer and the web version does not work? In this case, you can use the classic option and install WhatsApp on your computer via an android emulator. Here you will have to tinker a bit:
- First, download Bluestacks and install it on your computer.
- Now, using this program, from the computer we go to the Play Market and install whatsapp from there.
- Here you don't have to scan any codes, just enter your phone number, as when logging in from a smartphone.
- You will only need to manually re-add contacts. However, if the other methods don't work, Bluestacks is a very good solution. nine0010
