Does your phone still have WhatsApp? There are ways to get around this on a tablet and a computer. WhatsApp Web syncs with the app on your phone so you can send and receive WhatsApp messages from your computer. Any action you take on your phone will also happen on your computer, and the same is true for your computer. WhatsApp can be used both on your phone and on your computer.

There are two ways to use WhatsApp on your computer:

 

  • You can download an app that is called WhatsApp Desktop.
  • WhatsApp Web is a version of WhatsApp that works in a browser.

 

How to use a web browser to see WhatsApp:

  • Open the browser on your computer, laptop, or tablet and go to web.whatsapp.com.
  • Open WhatsApp on an Android phone, tap the three dots in the top right corner, and    choose WhatsApp web.
  • On an iPhone, open WhatsApp, tap the settings icon in the bottom left corner, and choose WhatsApp web/desktop.
  • You'll be asked to use the camera on your phone to scan the QR code that you can see in the web browser on your computer.
  • Then, point the camera on your phone at the screen of your computer to scan the code.
  • Whatsapp web will open automatically in your browser and stay open until you log out from your phone or computer.
  • You can choose this option on your phone by going back to the WhatsApp Web menu and selecting "Log out from all devices."
  • To log out from your PC, tap the three dots icon at the top of the conversation thread and then choose Log out.

How to get WhatsApp Web on a computer

  • Install the WhatsApp web desktop app, which you can get at whatsapp.com/download for PC or Mac.
  • To get the WhatsApp app on your computer, click the green "Download" button.
  • Then double-click that file in your downloads folder to install it.
  • On a Windows computer, follow the steps in the installer, and on a Mac, just drag the WhatsApp icon to your applications folder.
  • Start the desktop version of WhatsApp, and the steps are the same as above.
  • The app will keep you signed in to WhatsApp until you choose to log out.

 

Note: You can only install Whatsapp on your computer if you have Windows 8 or a later version or Mac OSX 10.9. (or newer).
