In order to use the web version of Whatsapp you need to follow a few simple steps:
Open a browser on the computer on which you want to run the web version of WhatsApp.
Go to Web.whatsapp You will see a page with a QR code, which will be required later for authorization.
Open the WhatsApp application on your phone and go to the menu (dotted icon in the upper right corner).
You must already be registered and authorized in the mobile app.
Go to Menu to item “WhatsApp Web”
If you have previously used WebSap, when you click on a menu item, a screen with a list of previously connected devices will open.
If this is the first connection, the screen will not be shown. To log in from a new browser, you must click on the “+” icon in the upper right corner of the screen.
If you want all previous connections to become inactive and no one can log in without your knowledge, you must click on the “Log out from all devices” link at the very bottom of the list.

You now know what is WhatsApp Web, how to access it, and how to use it. However, there can be times when WhatsApp Web or the desktop app might just not work on your computer for various reasons. In order to fix those problems, follow these steps:
You could be having phone connection problems because of which WhatsApp Web might not work on your computer.
To fix this, make sure that your phone always has an active internet connection.
You could also be having computer connection problems.
If you see a yellow banner above your chats list with the error message "Computer not connected", make sure to check your computer's Internet connection is active.
It is not just your phone that needs to have an active and stable connection, but your computer also requires the same.
Lastly, you could also have Wi-Fi problems while using WhatsApp Web.
If WhatsApp Web notifies you that you're on a Wi-Fi network that's preventing WhatsApp Web from operating correctly, please make sure your network is set up to bypass traffic to Web.whatsapp.
