WhatsApp, a popular multi-platform messaging app for smartphones has launched its web client called WhatsApp Web which allows users to use WhatsApp on a desktop with the help of a browser.
To be clear, WhatsApp Web is not an installable desktop program like the ones launched by Viber and Line. Instead, WhatsApp Web is a web client that utilizes your browser and mirrors your conversations and messages from your mobile device. This means that all of your messages are still stored on your phone.
To use WhatsApp Web, just open https://web.whatsapp.com in your Google Chrome browser and scan the QR code to connect. Do note that it only works with Google Chrome browser and your phone needs to stay connected to the Internet.
WhatsApp Web is currently available for Android, Windows Phone, and BlackBerry devices. iOS users sit this one out for now due to Apple platform limitations.
