How to open WhatsApp Web
- Open the website in the browser.
- In the Android version, tap the three dots in the top right of the app and then tap WhatsApp Web.
- On the iPhone, open the app, tap “Settings” and “WhatsApp Web/Desktop”.
- Tap “Scan QR Code.”
- Point the camera at the code displayed on the webpage.
WhatsApp will then connect to your Messenger account and you can start a session in the browser on Windows, Apple or Linux.
You can also easily read and respond to all WhatsApp messages and contacts that you have on your smartphone via the desktop view. Typing text is much easier on a PC because you can use a real keyboard and don’t have to use the tiny cell phone keyboard. This also makes it easy to send files that are stored on the computer.
