How You Can Access Whatsapp On Your Laptop /Computer

If you’re busy at work and you feel like
chatting with somebody on WhatsApp, you
can do that on your computer with the aid
of an app designed for that purpose.
The web is compatible with WhatsApp
mobile apps on Android, iOS, Windows
Phone, Blackberry and Nokia’s S60 or S40
phones. Your phone also needs to have a
rear-facing camera and WhatsApp has to be
turned on.
To do this, your computer must have
a recent version of Chrome, Firefox, Opera,
or Safari. Note that WhatsApp Web does not
support the old Internet Explorer or new
Microsoft Edge.
Connecting your phone to computer
On your computer, visit <http://
web.whatsapp.com/>. (Bookmark the
address if you’re going to use it often.) A bar
code will appear with instruction to scan the
code with your phone WhatsApp.
Now, switch back to your phone. You’ll need
to open the WhatsApp Web function. Here
are the procedures for the various mobile
operating systems, starting from the main
WhatsApp screen:
Android: Tap the Menu button, then tap
“WhatsApp Web.”
iOS: Tap the Settings tab, then tap
“WhatsApp Web.”
Windows Phone: Tap the Menu button, then
tap “WhatsApp Web.”
Blackberry 9 or older: Tap “Chats,” then
“Menu,” then “WhatsApp Web.”
Blackberry 10: Swipe down from the top of
the main screen and tap “WhatsApp Web.”
Nokia S60: Tap the menu button, then tap
“WhatsApp Web.”
Nokia S40: Swipe up from the bottom of the
main screen and tap “WhatsApp Web.”
Your app will then open a screen with a
camera window. Point your phone’s camera
on your computer screen and align it so that
the QR code is centred on the window.
Within a second or two, the web app will
authenticate, and your account and contacts
will appear on the primary WhatsApp Web
screen.
If you click the “keep me signed in” option
on the login page, you should be able to
close and open the web interface for as long
as your desktop browser session is active
and as long as the mobile app stays active
on your phone. If you’re logged out, just
repeat the steps above.
Using WhatsApp Web
WhatsApp Web works more or less the same
way that it does on your phone. The primary
screen shows a list of all the chats you’re
currently engaged in on your phone (or any
other devices).
To start a new chat, click the text message
icon in the left column and either click one
of the contact names or start typing in the
“Search Contacts” field. Your chat itself will
appear in the right-hand side, and you can
switch between any of them at any time.
Any message you send will be sent
immediately to your contact’s phone, or any
other device they happen to be using
(including WhatsApp Web).
To start a new group chat, click the menu
button (three vertical dots) and then “new
group chat.” To log out of WhatsApp Web,
click the menu button then “log out”.
Enable browser notifications
If you will like to see new text messages
come in even when you don’t have the
WhatsApp Web tab or window active, you
can enable browser notifications. These will
appear as small alerts in the corner of your
screen. When you first open WhatsApp Web,
you should see a message in blue just
beneath your profile photo with the words
“Get notified of new notifications.” Click the
link below and follow the instructions that
appear on the screen.
If you want to disable or re-enable desktop
notifications, click the menu button in the
WhatsApp Web interface, then click
“Notifications.”
