Thanks to the WhatsApp Web version, messenger users can use this application online not only from a mobile phone, but also from a computer.

When the Russian version of WhatsApp Web first appeared, not all browsers supported it, but only Google Chrome. Now this list has expanded significantly:

• Google Chrome
• Internet Explorer
• Opera
• Safari
• Fire Fox

If you encounter errors when installing the application through these browsers, try installing the latest updates.

Dear users, remember! The web version of WhatsApp does not serve as a substitute for the mobile version, but simply complements it. The application cannot be used separately on a computer if it is not installed on your smartphone.

WhatsApp Web is a messenger extension for iOS, Android, Windows Phone and BlackBerry phones.

WhatsApp online is extremely easy to use. From any computer or laptop, open the web.whatsapp.com link. On the loaded page there is a barcode, as well as instructions for use. It must be read from a mobile device.

To do this, open the WhatsApp Web section from your smartphone or tablet (download WhatsApp to your phone). For iPhone, you can find it in the messenger settings. For Android, it is located in the application menu (three vertical dots on the top right). Then bring the device's camera to the QR code so that it falls into the square area with the scanner strip, and wait for it to be read. Browser WhatsApp is now ready to use.

Setting

The browser version of WhatsApp has a "Stay signed in" feature. It is initially enabled. In this case, it is not required to synchronize the mobile device with WhatsApp online on the PC every time. It is enough to launch the application on it, and then the page in the browser. This option of using the messenger will be convenient if one person uses the computer.

But how can I disable this feature if the choice is only provided at the first start? It's simple, you need to untie the smartphone from the web version. To do this, open the WhatsApp Web section in the application and click on the corresponding button. Then go to the online WhatsApp page and uncheck the only item.

Possibilities

Unfortunately, WhatsApp Web has limited features when compared to the classic messenger for iOS or Android. It lacks the possibility of any calls, part of the profile settings is not available. Also, you cannot change the current or set a new status. The rest of the functions are exactly the same as in the mobile application.

WhatsApp Web is such an application, a special service from the company that created the popular WhatsApp messenger. It allows any user registered in the system to log into his account to communicate via an Internet connection (www) from a computer.

What do you need to use?

WhatsApp Web assumes the presence of such components as:

• Ordinary personal computer.
• Good connection to the worldwide network.
• The address of the official website, from where the account will be logged in: "Whatsapp" - dot - "com", namely in its section https:www.web.whatsapp.com (web version for activation via QR code).
• A good browser (program for accessing the Internet), which would be combined with this software. Such a browser can be, for example, Google Chrome (it even allows you to download a special utility (works as a client) in order to install it later, since it will be even easier to log in through it), Opera or Mozilla Fox, Microsoft Edge (this browser will lack all notifications, only the sound will remain of them), Safari.
• Smartphone. It is necessary to have the device from which the registration in the program was carried out and its further use in order to synchronize. For this initial registration, you must first download and install the program on your phone. It works where the operating systems are: Android, Windows Fawn, Blackberry or Symbian S60 (note that iPhone owners will not be able to register).

What to do?

To enter the online version of the program for free, you need to do a few simple steps:

1.On your computer, open your browser.

2.Go to the site indicated earlier. If you entered the site address correctly, you will enter a section with a special QR code designed to be scanned by a smartphone camera. This is a function that allows you to make additional authorization to increase the security of the personal data of each Vatsap client.

3.Take the smartphone in your hand so that when you turn on the scan option, the code can be seen in the viewfinder in full.

4.Go to the Vatsap program, turn on the scanning option (open the menu by clicking on the "three dots" and select "WhatssApp Web").

5.Scan the code. Wait a bit for the synchronization to take place. In this case, you do not need to turn off your phone or mobile Internet, and you do not need to exit the program.

6.When the synchronization process is completed, you will see the Vatsap-Web window on the monitor. Be sure to enable the "Receive notifications of new messages" option located at the top right of the window on the monitor screen.

7.Save this page as a bookmark so that next time you can log in to the web version from your computer with one click. In this case, it will not be necessary to re-scan the code, this is done only once.

WhatsApp for six years of existence has become one of the most popular instant messengers in the world, the number of users of which has already exceeded one billion. In 2015, the developers decided to add the ability to use the application on a PC and released WhatsApp Web. In fact, WhatsApp Web is a mirror image of the application installed on your mobile device and allows you to chat with your friends from your computer, which is much more convenient and faster.

After installation, all contacts and previously sent messages will be integrated from the mobile device to the PC. The only difference between the web version and the mobile version is the ability to enable and disable notifications from the application (sounds and pop-up messages), and silent mode. To install the application on your PC, you need to update your browser to the latest version on your mobile device.

Features of the computer version

It should be noted that WhatsApp Web is not a separate application, but a kind of addition to the mobile version. You can use the messenger only if you already have a registered account on your tablet or smartphone. The only drawback of the Web version is the need to connect both devices to the Internet. That is, without Watsap enabled on a mobile device, the application on a computer will not work.

You also have to keep an eye on the battery level on your phone, because if the battery is low, the application will stop working. However, against the general background, these are insignificant trifles, since the ability to type messages using a conventional keyboard is simply incomparable with the same set on an uncomfortable sensor.

Installing the application on a PC

Installing Vatsap Web does not require any technical knowledge from you and will take no more than 10 minutes. Let's take a closer look at the installation of this application using the Google Chrome browser as an example, since the developers were guided by it when producing the PC version.

The first thing to do is launch the browser and select the line " Extensions", as shown in the figure.

After that, a window will appear in front of us with all currently installed extensions, you need to go down to the bottom of the page and click on the line " More extensions».

After the done manipulations, we get to the Chrome Web Store, where we will have to enter the name of the extension of interest in the search bar. In our case, this is WhatsApp Web and press the key Enter.

In the window that appears, find the required extension and click on the " Install»

When the installation is complete, a shortcut called "" will appear on the desktop. With this shortcut, you can always open access to all available extensions, including WhatsApp Web, in two clicks.

We can say that we have completed the main part of the installation, now we need to run the extension. To do this, click on the label " Chrome app launcher» and choose our extension.

In the window that appears, select the application we need again.

Here we come to the final stage of installation. A QR code will appear in the tab that opens. To complete the installation, you need to launch the application on your mobile device and scan the code, after which the extension installed on your mobile phone will be synchronized with the computer version and will be ready for use.

Program Benefits

• Binding to a mobile number
• Cross-platform
• Free instant messaging
• Convenient interface
• High-quality localization for PC

conclusions

Is the WhatsApp Web version convenient in the version in which it was presented to users? Certainly, even despite some shortcomings. Although you have to keep a running version on a mobile device to use it, nothing can replace the ability to type with a full-sized keyboard. Perhaps in the future, developers will make some adjustments to their offspring, and it will become even more convenient to use the program on a PC. In the meantime, the quality of the program can be judged by the number of users using it on a monthly basis, and this number has exceeded several hundred million people, which says a lot.
