WhatsApp is working hard to become your go-to messenger, and after 16 months of it web based version, you can use WhatsApp on your computer with new desktop apps released for Windows (8 or above) and Mac OS X (Mavericks 10.9 or above).
When you first login to WhatsApp on the desktop, you’ll be prompted to scan a code from the mobile WhatsApp app on your phone. To scan the code from your phone, press the menu button in WhatsApp and tap WhatsApp Web. Here you can scan the QR code on your computer. Later, you can also view a list of all desktop or web clients that are logged into your account from this menu.
What is Whatsapp?
“WhatsApp Messenger is a cross-platform mobile messaging app which allows you to exchange messages without having to pay for SMS. WhatsApp Messenger is available for iPhone, BlackBerry, Android, Windows Phone and Nokia and yes, those phones can all message each other! Because WhatsApp Messenger uses the same internet data plan that you use for email and web browsing, there is no cost to message and stay in touch with your friends.
In addition to basic messaging WhatsApp users can create groups, send each other unlimited images, video and audio media messages.”
The desktop app works much like WhatsApp Web. You can send messages, attachments, record voice messages, send pictures, and manage your message history. It might be missing a couple features from the phone version,but it should be mostly the same experience you’re used to.
