How to link whatsapp on pc
How to Set up and Use WhatsApp Web or the Desktop App
- You can use WhatsApp Web from your computer's browser by linking your account through a QR code from the WhatsApp mobile app.
- You can also use WhatsApp from your computer by installing the WhatsApp desktop application.
- You can open multiple WhatsApp accounts on your computer as long as you use a different browser window for each one.
Most people are familiar with using WhatsApp via a mobile app on their phone, but not everyone is aware that it's also possible to use WhatsApp on the computer desktop — either in a web browser or using a desktop app. The main difference? You still need to log into WhatsApp on the computer using your WhatsApp mobile app.
How to access WhatsApp Web or the desktop app
There are two ways to access your WhatsApp account on your PC or Mac computer:
- Use the web app.
Go to web.whatsapp.com in a web browser.
- Use the desktop app. Install the WhatsApp desktop app on your Mac or Windows computer from the WhatsApp download page.
How to set up and use WhatsApp Web or the desktop app
1. Once you've opened the webpage or installed and run the desktop app, you should see a QR code on your computer.
You'll need to scan the QR code in your WhatsApp mobile app to log in.

On the QR code screen, get ready to scan. On iPhone, tap Scan at the bottom of the page; on Android, tap the Scan Code tab at the top.

How WhatsApp Web differs from the mobile app
Once you've linked your computer and mobile app, you should see your WhatsApp Chats page in the web app or desktop app. Everything you do on either the computer or mobile app will be kept in sync and mirrored on the other device. New messages will appear in bold and you'll hear a notification on your computer. Click any conversation to reply from your computer.
WhatsApp web replicates the chat conversations from your mobile app. Dave JohnsonWhatsApp offers other features on the computer as well:
- Click your own account icon to change your profile details like display name and About message.
- Click any contact icon to control your interactions with that user. You can start an audio or video call, for example, mute notifications, block or report the user, and delete the chat.
- At the top of the window you can also start a new chat (including start a new group chat) and see starred messages.
There are some significant advantages to using WhatsApp Web or the desktop app. It's often easier to type using a real mouse and keyboard, for example, and you can keep WhatsApp on the screen, side by side with other windows to copy and paste information into chat messages. And you can easily log into more than one WhatsApp account at the same time just by opening them in different WhatsApp Web browser windows.
On the other hand, be aware that you always need your phone to log into WhatsApp on the computer — there's no way to use WhatsApp Web without your mobile app.

Synchronize WhatsApp with a computer
WhatsApp is recognized as one of the most convenient and reliable applications for communication both in text format and in audio video, as well as for exchanging files.
Until recently, WhatsApp could only be used from a mobile gadget. To use it on a regular computer, it was necessary to install additional software through which the work was carried out. By the way, even now this option is far from obsolete.
Users of Windows and Mac operating systems turned out to be in a more advantageous position. The fact is that a version of WhatsApp was released for these systems.
This article will focus on the procedure for synchronizing the messenger installed on a mobile device with a computer version of the program.
Option 1: Downloading the application from the official website
This method is the fastest and most convenient. By downloading WhatsApp from the official Internet site, you can quickly synchronize it with your phone. Thanks to this process, all contacts and dialogs will be visible on the computer. However, as mentioned above, this method is only available for Mac and Windows operating systems. It must be remembered that a valid WhatsApp account on a smartphone is required for synchronization.
So, the algorithm for synchronizing WhatsApp between your phone and PC:
- Download the version of the application for your operating system from the official website.
- Run the downloaded program, in the window of which a QR code will immediately be displayed.
- Open WhatsApp on your smartphone, find the item "WhatsApp Web" in the menu, click on it.
- Point the opened window with the code scanner to the QR-drawing on the PC monitor.
- The phone will notify you by vibration and a sound signal about the completion of the process of reading information.
Everything, the application is installed on the computer. Now you can chat on WhatsApp directly from your computer. The main thing is not to turn off the smartphone, since the PC only works through it.
Option 2: synchronization via Bluestax
The next way to synchronize contacts and correspondence between a PC and a smartphone is to use an emulator.
