WhatsApp Web - Official Website for web.whatsapp

Want to continue using WhatsApp while your phone is away? Don't worry WhatsApp Web is in for a treat... Yes, this turns out to be a magical potion for all those who like to use WhatsApp on their desktops for whatever reasons. And guess what??? The process to get started with web whatsapp will take just two minutes. 

Well, in my opinion, this particular service of WhatsApp works wonders when you want to reply to an important message while you are doing something on your desktop. And I'm sure, nobody finds it convenient to use two devices simultaneously. 

So, don't make your friends wait longer for your replies because Web WhatsApp has got you covered. But wait... before I walk you through the steps to get started, let's have a brief discussion about what this service actually does. 

Long story short, we can say that it is the desktop or the Web version of your favorite communication tool, WhatsApp, that you have been using for so many years. It certainly is a smart way to get in touch with your loved ones when your phone is not handy.

But there's a slight catch. Only those users who are using WhatsApp on their mobile devices will be able to use the WhatsApp Web functionalities. This is because the Web version is entirely in sync with the WhatsApp mobile version. However, the best part is that most of us are already using WhatsApp on our Android or iOS devices. 

So, I don't think it would be a problem for you. Isn't it??? 

If you have been wondering on which devices can you use this feature of WhatsApp, the answer is pretty clear. Any device having a web browser such as Chrome, Edge, Safari, Brave, and Firefox can be used for accessing the WhatsApp Web service. 

Keeping that aside, let us now come straight to the point. Since Web WhatsApp service is available for both Android and iOS device users, we shall now begin the process of using it. So, first, we'll take up the process to use it on an iOS device and then we'll show you how you can use it on your Android. 

Before you start, make sure that you are already using the WhatsApp application on your iOS device. And there could be anything better if you are using the most updated version of the app. If you are sure about that, start applying the steps below: 

• Open the WhatsApp Web URL: From a browser on your desktop, go to https://web.whatsapp.com/ and make sure you've landed on the official Website. 

• Launch WhatsApp on your mobile: The next step is to grab your iOS device and launch WhatsApp on it. 

• Select the "You" option: From the main screen of WhatsApp, select the "You" tab present on the bottom-right of the screen to open the "Settings" menu. 

• Choose "Linked Devices": From the displayed menu, you should choose the "Linked Devices" option to proceed. 

• Tap "Link a device": To proceed, now you must choose the " Link a device" button. 

• Complete the authentication: For authentication purposes, you can use your face ID or Touch ID. As soon as you do this, your phone's camera will open up. 

• Scan the QR code: Now, switch to your desktop on which you have opened the WhatsApp Web URL and use your phone's camera to scan the QR code on your desktop's current screen.

That's all folks!!! 

Fortunately, the Web WhatsApp feature is also available for Android device users. The easy-to-follow steps to get started are given right below: 

• Open WhatsApp on your phone: Here, your first step is to open WhatsApp on your Android device. 

• Open the "Settings" menu: Spot the three-dots icon at the top-right corner of your screen.

• Tap on "Linked Devices": To go ahead in the process, choose the "Linked Devices" option and then choose "Link a device." 

• Authenticate your action: To verify and authenticate your action, you must enter the passcode of your device or use your fingerprint. 

• On Web WhatsApp on your computer/desktop: Switch to your PC and then open the WhatsApp Web URL i.e. https://web.whatsapp.com/ from a Web browser. 

• Locate the QR code: As soon as you open the URL, a QR Code will be generated to establish the connection. 

• Scan it: Now, from your Android device, point the camera towards the QR code on your screen and scan it to complete the process. 

Wondering whether or not you can use WhatsApp Web without having to scan the QR code? Though most of us are able to scan the QR code easily. However, if your phone's camera is not working or there is some other reason why you cannot do that, don't worry. 

We have a solution for you…
