WhatsApp Web allows you to send and receive WhatsApp messages online on your Desktop PC or Tablet. WhatsApp Web is the browser-based PC client of WhatsApp messenger. It is not another account but the same account on a web browser and you are simply accessing the same account on these two devices.
WhatsApp Web has the same functionality as the WhatsApp on your mobile phone and you can instantly send and receive messages through WhatsApp Web. All the messages of your WhatsApp account are synced across and you can see all of the messages on both of the devices. Any message that you send via WhatsApp Web will also be available on WhatsApp on your mobile phone. WhatsApp Web is available for most of the Android and iOS Smartphones.
Using WhatsApp Web is an easy thing, but for some people who have no idea about how it works may not know about it. You can follow this quick guide to learn how to use WhatsApp Web on PC. Keep in mind that your mobile phone needs to be actively connected to the internet for WhatsApp Web to work.
