How Safe Is WhatsApp Web? To link your account to WhatsApp Web, you'll need a phone with a working rear camera, a laptop with a modern web browser, an active internet connection, and the latest version of WhatsApp. You can connect your account with WhatsApp Web either by scanning a QR code or by using the phone number associated with your account. For added security and privacy, you should lock WhatsApp Web with an app lock, especially if you often leave your laptop unattended. WhatsApp Web allows you to read and respond to WhatsApp messages directly from your computer through a browser. This guide will explain how to make the most out of WhatsApp Web on your PC. 1. An Android phone or an iPhone with a working rear camera. 2. A laptop or desktop computer with a modern web browser. Internet Explorer is not supported. 3. An active internet connection for both your phone and your PC.
4. The latest version of WhatsApp. For years after its launch, WhatsApp Web required your phone and computer to both be connected to the internet to sync your account. When you used to move your smartphone away from your computer or turn off its internet, the connection would get disconnected, stopping the syncing of account activity. Now, Meta has streamlined the process, making it easier to use WhatsApp from your browser. You only need to meet the setup requirements when linking your account. After setting it up, you can use WhatsApp Web when your phone is offline. You can access WhatsApp on your computer at any time. 2. You will see a QR code that you need to scan to connect to WhatsApp Web. 3. On your WhatsApp mobile app, tap three vertical dots in the top-right corner on your Android phone (or the gear icon on iPhone), and go to Linked devices.
Then, tap Link a device to scan the QR code. 4. Point your phone's rear camera to the QR code on your PC screen. As soon as WhatsApp Web scans the QR code, it will connect your phone to your PC. You are now ready to use WhatsApp online through the computer. If your smartphone camera fails to scan the QR code, you can also link your account to WhatsApp Web using your phone number. Simply click on Link with phone number, enter the phone number linked to your WhatsApp account, and click Next. You'll see a code that you need to enter on your phone. Next, open the WhatsApp app on your phone and tap on the three dots for Android or the gear icon for iPhone. From there, select Linked devices, then choose Link a device. Instead of scanning the QR code, tap Link with phone number instead, enter the code provided, and your account will be successfully linked.
WhatsApp Web lets you do most of the things you can do on the mobile app, but there are a few differences. Using your keyboard to type. Accessing media (photos, videos, audio) in-line. You can also download any media directly to your PC. However, you cannot bulk download all media files; you have to manually click each. Starting a new conversation with any contact, or search for existing conversations. Connecting multiple computers to your phone and saving them for the future. You can also remotely disconnect any browser from your phone. Sharing photos and videos, documents, and contacts. Sending emojis, GIFs, and stickers, as well as voice notes. Viewing WhatsApp Status updates from any contact. There are a few features not available in WhatsApp Web. Sending a WhatsApp Broadcast. Making or receiving voice or video calls on WhatsApp. You need the desktop app to do this. Posting new WhatsApp Status updates. Sharing maps or your current location.
