WhatsApp Web and Desktop: How do they work and how do you use them?

Introduction:

WhatsApp Web and Desktop are two different ways of using the messaging app WhatsApp on your computer. While they both have their own unique advantages and disadvantages, they both offer a way for you to stay connected with your friends and family without having to use your phone. In this article, we’ll be going over how WhatsApp Web and Desktop work, as well as how you can start using them.

WhatsApp has both web and desktop apps

WhatsApp has both web and desktop apps. This means that you can access your WhatsApp messages from your computer, in addition to your phone. To download the WhatsApp desktop app, head to whatsapp.com/download from your desktop browser and hit download. Alternatively, if you don't want to download the app, you can use the web app. The web app is a slightly stripped down version of the desktop app, but it still lets you do everything you need to do. To use the web app, just open https://web.whatsapp.com in your desktop browser and log in with your phone number and password. As long as your phone is connected to the internet, you'll be able to see all of your messages and send new ones.

What are the WhatsApp desktop and web apps?

The WhatsApp web and desktop apps are an extension of your smartphone. They are simply extensions of the WhatsApp app that you have on your phone. This means that all of your conversations and messages will be mirrored on the WhatsApp desktop and web apps. You can see exactly what is going on in your WhatsApp world while working on a Word document or replying to an email, without needing to take your smartphone out of your pocket. To use the WhatsApp desktop app, you just need to download it from the App Store or Google Play, and then sign in with your phone number and password. The app will automatically sync with your conversations and messages. To use the WhatsApp web app, open a browser on your computer and go to web.whatsapp.com. Scan the QR code with your phone's WhatsApp camera to sign in. The web app will automatically sync with your conversations and messages.

How do WhatsApp desktop and web work?

To use WhatsApp Desktop or WhatsApp Web, you first have to scan a QR code using your mobile phone. This will link your phone to the app. Once linked, the WhatsApp Desktop or WhatsApp Web app will pull up all of your conversations, deliver any new messages and enable you to start new chats or search your current conversations. The apps don't offer exactly the same functionality as the smartphone app when it comes to settings but responding to messages and starting new chats is the same.

Can WhatsApp Web or Desktop be used on multiple devices?

Yes, you can use WhatsApp Web or WhatsApp Desktop on multiple devices. You can link up to four devices to your WhatsApp account in total. However, you'll need your phone to be able to do this initially as you need to scan the QR code from within the app. If you don't have your phone with you, you won't be able to set up the linked device.

Does WhatsApp Web work without a phone?

Yes, WhatsApp Web works without a phone. You just need to complete the initial setup of WhatsApp Web or WhatsApp Desktop on your phone. However, your phone does need to stay online for those four linked devices to work. If you don't use your phone for 14 days, you will automatically be signed out of WhatsApp Web or WhatsApp Desktop. That means a WhatsApp Web session or WhatsApp Desktop session will expire after two weeks if you don't open WhatsApp on your phone.

Can WhatsApp Web be tracked?

WhatsApp Web and WhatsApp Desktop are end-to-end encrypted. This means that the messages you send and receive are encrypted on your device and can only be read by the person you send them to - not by WhatsApp, Facebook or anyone else. This encryption is applied automatically to all WhatsApp Web and WhatsApp Desktop chats, and is also applied to group chats when they are started on WhatsApp Web or WhatsApp Desktop.

How do I use WhatsApp Desktop or Web apps?

If you're wondering how to use WhatsApp Desktop or Web apps, wonder no more! Both apps are fairly easy to use. Once you've opened the app on your computer, scan the QR code that appears on your computer screen using your smartphone. Your messages and conversations will then appear on your computer screen. You can change the size of the window, as well as minimize it if you want to. To view your profile, change your status or change your profile picture, click on your picture at the top of the desktop app. Next to your picture is the symbol that will allow you to start a new chat.

Conclusion:

WhatsApp Web and Desktop provide an easy way to use WhatsApp on your computer, and can be used on multiple devices. You can use them without a phone, but you will need a phone to set them up.
