Hello friend, in this post I am sharing the information about WhatsApp web, recently WhatsApp has launched its web version by which you can use WhatsApp on desktop pc or laptop in a same or may be in better way than u use it in your smartphone.
For now, WhatsApp Web only works in Google Chrome. May be in future updates we will be able to use in all browsers. Also your smartphone needs to be connected to the internet to use the WhatsApp Web. You might thinking then what is the use of this then, yes you are right, but if you are working on your laptop or desktop then to see the WhatsApp messages you won't need to check the mobile, useful when your smartphone is on charging. In office, you can avoid checking mobile continuously just to check the WhatsApp messages.
Actually, WhatsApp Web is nothing but a web client which mirrors your all conversations and messages on web once you pair it with your smartphone by scanning QR code.
To know more details of it,you can visit the WhatsApp Blog.
Let's see how to use it with Android, step by step.
First, you need to update WhatsApp to latest version, either you can update it through Google Play or can directly download from WhatsApp site.
Some android users were facing the problem to update the WhatsApp from Google Play in which "WhatsApp Web" option is not available even after update for them, download it from WhatsApp site.
Once you update WhatsApp, it shows the link as "WhatsApp Web" under menu like following.
Now go to the "https://web.whatsapp.com/" in Google Chrome browser ,it will open page like below in which you can see the "QR code" (if not, just click on "Click to reload the QR code")
Now open WhatsApp in smartphone, and tap "WhatsApp Web" link under menu, it will open camera within WhatsApp, tap on "Ok, Got it" and scan the QR code shown in Google Chrome.
Note: If you are using RedMi or any other xiomi phone, then you may see error something like "camera connot be started", to resolve this you need to change the permissions for WhatsApp, go to "Security" app, then tap on "Permissions", then "App permissions", select "WhatsApp" and toggle "Trust this app" to green.
Once you scan the QR code, it will mirror your WhatsApp in Google Chrome.
Once you donem you can log out from the WhatsApp web, by clicking on "Log out" link available under button like vertical 3 dots near to profile photo.
