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 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.

How to access WhatsApp through a computer and laptop
Whatsapp is a very popular free program that helps you exchange messages between smartphones. The program is used to send text messages, video, audio, images and other files. The application works on Android, iOS, Windows Phone, Nokia, Windows and other operating systems. The application was released in 2009, and in 2016 it became absolutely free.
Today, WhatsApp is used by more than 1 billion people worldwide. However, most users do not even know that this program can be used on a personal computer and laptop. In this case, all the functionality of the program will work in the same way as on a smartphone. This can be done in very simple ways that are available to any user. nine0003
Ways to log in to WhatsApp from a computer and laptop
So how to log into WhatsApp through a computer? After all, that's why we're all here. In fact, there are as many as 3 ways to run Whatsapp on a personal computer. We will describe all these methods further, but they are similar in many ways and require you, at a minimum, to have a camera on your phone.
The first way is to use the web version of WhatsApp
In order to start WhatsApp in web mode, you must:
However, there are several features of this method.
First, the best way to install WhatsApp online is to use the Google Chrome browser. Secondly, WhatsApp will only work if the program is enabled on the phone. Thirdly, such a browser version of WhatsApp is only a mirror of the mobile application.
The second way is to download the whatsapp application to your computer
In order to use the official whatsapp application for computers you need:
- Download whatsapp to your computer from the official website www. whatsapp.com. Don't forget to choose the correct bit depth for your operating system. Although I'm almost 100% sure that you have a 64 bit OS.
- Then install the program, following all instructions and installation rules.
- Then open the application and scan the code through the phone to synchronize.
Download the WhatsApp application to your computer
After opening, the application will require you to scan a QR code. You can do this using the WhatsApp mobile app. (It is important to know that the new version of WhatsApp requires you to scan a QR code before installation and then allows you to install the program on your computer)
The program will now run on the computer. It will be possible to use all the functionality that is in the mobile version. Contacts, as in the previous version, will automatically go to the PC.
The third method is Android OS emulation on a computer
To do this, you need to download a specialized emulator on the network that will simulate the Android operating system on a PC. There are many such programs on the Internet. The most popular are BlueStacks .
BlueStacks is an Android OS emulator that will help you access the mobile version of WhatsApp
After installing such an emulator, you need to register or log in to Google Play Market . Then download WhatsApp from the store and use it in the usual way on a personal computer, as if you were using a smartphone. After installing the application, you will need to confirm your mobile phone number once via SMS. This action needs to be performed only once, so you can safely use a virtual number to receive SMS. nine0003 This method is very convenient and does not require the QR code . With the help of an emulator, the program works practically and allows you to use all the functions of mobile WhatsApp without the support of a smartphone. All these three methods allow you to quickly and effortlessly launch WhatsApp on your computer, use it as a convenient and fast messaging application with other users. As for me, the first way (web version) is the most optimal. You may also like another. A matter of taste. nine0003 But most importantly, using WhatsApp through a computer, the user will have access to all the functionality of the application for comfortable use. WhatsApp value their users and you can feel it. from: 30-07-2017 22:38 | section: Soft / Apps Despite the great popularity of this service, few people still know that WhatsApp is not tied to your phone in any way. You can freely use it on your computer as well. It is not only more pleasant to look at sent photos, but also to read long texts, as well as quickly scroll through group messages in search of what you need. WhatsApp Web can be configured so that you have access to the application in two places at once instead of one, while all your messages are synchronized between two devices. nine0003 Anyone who has the following devices can configure WhatsApp Web: If your gadget is on the list, continue... The first thing you need to do is go to web.whatsapp.com from your computer. At the same time, make sure that your phone is still connected to the Internet via a mobile connection or Wi-Fi. This is important, because it is with its help that you can connect WhatsApp Web to your account. nine0003 After you follow the link, you will see a screen similar to this one: The next step is to open WhatsApp on your phone and set it to sync with WhatsApp Web. Here's how to do it on each of the above smartphones: Chats screen > Menu > WhatsApp Web Menu > WhatsApp Web Settings > WhatsApp Web Chats > Menu > WhatsApp Web Swipe down from top of the screen > WhatsApp Web Swipe up from bottom of screen > WhatsApp Web This is what it looks like on the iPhone. Once you click "WhatsApp Web/Desktop", the app will access your phone's camera so you can scan the QR code on your computer screen. nine0003 After scanning the QR code, WhatsApp Web will open where you can start chatting. however, all your settings and conversations that were saved in the mobile application will appear here as well. If you like, you can also download WhatsApp Web for your Mac or Windows PC. Mac users will need Mac OS X 10.9 and up, and Windows users will need Windows 8 and up.
