The WhatsApp web uses Google’s Chrome browser to mirror your conversations and messages from your mobile device. It means, all your messages will always remain on your mobile and a copy of it can be accessed through the browser as well.

WhatsApp Web is a free online version of the popular messenger that works from a browser without downloading and installing.

If you talk a lot and often on WhatsApp, you have to type a lot of text on your phone, which is not always convenient. To simplify this process, a separate version of WhatsApp was developed for the browser, which works on any operating system (Windows, Linux, MacOS).

Important! The web version of WhatsApp is not a separate application or accant, but only allows you to use your main account on a computer in a browser. This means that for it to work, you must have a valid account on your phone and an installed application. Without the application, authorization in the browser will fail.

In order to use the web version of the whatsapp you need to follow a few simple steps:

Step 1. Open a browser on the computer on which you want to run the web version of WhatsApp. To do this, go to https://web.whatsapp.com/ You will see a page with a QR code, which will be required later for authorization.

Step 2. 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.

Step 4.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.

Step 5.After clicking on the “+”, the camera on the phone is activated and then you need to point it to the QR code that is displayed on the computer screen (step 1). After the code is scanned, a list of all contacts and chats opens in the computer’s browser. After that, the Web version of WhatsApp can be used in parallel with the phone.

Important! For the WhatsApp Web messenger to work in a browser, both the phone and the computer must be connected to the Internet.
