WhatsApp is basically designed to be used on Mobile Phones with an active Phone Number. However, it is also possible to Use WhatsApp on PC without Mobile Phone.
There are multiple ways to use WhatsApp on PC or Mac, each method has its own advantages and disadvantages as listed below.
1. Android SDK: Installing and setting up Android SDK takes time and uses a good amount of resources on your PC.
2. Android Emulators: Android Emulators like “BlueStacks” or “Andy” create an Android like environment on your PC, allowing you to run Android Apps, including WhatsApp.
3. Third Party Software: There are some third party programs that are designed to run WhatsApp on PC. However, we are unable to recommend any of them as we haven’t tried any of these programs.
4. WhatsApp Web: Using the Desktop or Web version of WhatsApp is the official way to Use WhatsApp on PC.
However, this method still requires you to have a smartphone with an active WhatsApp Account running on it.

If you are looking for someone to check if they are online or not without opening a whatsapp chat, you can follow a few steps that may be helpful for you to figure it out.
whatsapp will tell you if you just see someone's whatsapp or chat profile then it will be labeled as online if the person is on whatsapp. You just need to save the contact on your mobile phone and then you can view their profile and check their online status.
In addition, there are some other tools that you can also use to find out if this person is online on WhatsApp or chatting with someone else.
☛ However, you can try the method of receiving notifications when someone accesses the network via WhatsApp.
To find out if someone is online on WhatsApp , you can do this without opening a chat. First, you need to click on their DP icon in the chat and then that person's profile will be displayed.
Under his name, the time of the last visit or the status "Online" will be displayed. Now, if the person is online, they will show as "Online", otherwise you will see the last seen time.
In this article, I will explain the methods and easy steps you can follow to check if a person is online on WhatsApp.
You may be looking to talk to a contact in real time and want to know when they are online. Another possibility is that someone you were talking to suddenly disappeared and you're wondering when they'll be back online.
So if you don't know how to see someone's whatsapp for the last time without opening their chat.
To check if someone is online without opening WhatsApp,
After launching WhatsApp, you want to check when someone was last online without putting blue checkmarks on their text. First, you need to click on their contact and then select it.
You can open contact information without opening a chat. In a WhatsApp chat, press the DP of that chat and then a pop-up screen will appear where you need to press the "i" icon to view the status of the profile. Once you click on this, the profile details will be displayed.
When the contact information is open, you can notice the time of his last activity, indicated in the picture under the name of the contact. If they are connected to the Internet, it will show "Online" instead of the last seen time.
On the other hand, if you are an iPhone user, there is an app available that will alert you when the user logs in/out of WhatsApp without opening a chat.
OnlineNotify is a paid hacking app that informs you when a specific WhatsApp contact goes online and more.
What else can be done:
As stated by the developer, WhatsApp should always be running in the background for this online tracker to work effortlessly. Wi-Fi also needs to stay connected even when the phone is locked for the app to work properly. Also, don't forget to select the WhatsApp version you want to run the tracking app on. This ensures that you are not shown as online in the main whatsapp.
This is what we all assume when we look at our online status. While the status suggests that the person is currently using the app. It just confirms that the app is running in the foreground on their device. In addition to this, they have an active Internet connection.
However, this does not necessarily mean that they are chatting with someone.
This can be confusing when you need an answer and the user's "online" status is testing your patience.
Let's look at some of the possibilities when it's shown on the web:
