Still using WhatsApp on your phone? There are ways to get around this on your tablet and on a personal computer. WhatsApp Web syncs with mobile apps to send and receive WhatsApp messages from your computer. Any action you take on the phone will apply to WhatsApp on your computer and vice versa. You can access WhatsApp on both your phone and your computer.

You can use WhatsApp on your computer in two ways:

WhatsApp Desktop: An app that you can download.

WhatsApp Web: A browser-based version of WhatsApp.

Here's how to see WhatsApp in a web browser:

Open your PC, laptop or tablet browser and go to web.whatsapp.com

Open WhatsApp on Android phone, tap the three dots in the top right and choose WhatsApp Web.

To start an iPhone on WhatsApp, tap on the Settings icon at the bottom left and choose WhatsApp Web / Desktop.

You will be prompted to use your smartphone's camera to scan the QR code that appears in your computer's web browser.

Then point your phone's camera at the computer screen to scan the code.

WhatsApp Web will automatically launch in the browser and remain active until you log out from your computer or your phone.

You can select this option on your phone by returning to the WhatsApp web menu and logging out from all devices.

To log out of your PC you can do this by tapping the three dots icon at the top of the conversation thread, then choose Log Out.

How to install WhatsApp web on computer:

Install the WhatsApp web desktop application, which is available for PC or Mac from whatapp.com/download.

Click the green download button to install the WhatsApp application on your computer.

Then find that file in your Downloads folder and double-click it to install.

On a Windows computer, you should follow the steps in the installer and on a Mac simply drag the WhatsApp icon into your Applications folder.

Start the WhatsApp desktop application and the process is same as above.

The app will keep you logged into WhatsApp until you choose to log out.

Note: WhatsApp can only be installed on your computer if your operating system is Windows 8 (or newer) or Mac OSX 10.9 (or newer).
