WhatsApp Web allows you to access your chats and messages directly from your computer. With WhatsApp Web Scan, you can quickly scan a QR code using your phone to sync your WhatsApp account and stay connected without needing your mobile device constantly in hand. Whether you’re at work, school, or home, this feature makes multitasking seamless and efficient.
WhatsApp Web Scan is a feature that allows users to connect their WhatsApp mobile account to a web browser by scanning a unique QR code. This QR code appears on the WhatsApp Web page and must be scanned using the WhatsApp app on your phone. Once scanned, it securely links your device and mirrors your chats on the computer, allowing you to send and receive messages, photos, and documents directly from your desktop. It’s a convenient way to use WhatsApp without switching between devices.
To use WhatsApp Web Scan, you'll need a compatible smartphone and a supported web browser. Here’s what works best:
Android (version 4.0 or higher) with the latest WhatsApp app
iPhone (iOS 12 or higher) with the latest WhatsApp version
Google Chrome
