After owned by Facebook , there were rumors that the most popular
messenger app i.e WhatsApp will be available for PC users also.As the
rumor said earlier, you will be able to use WhatsApp from your PC by
simply visiting its webpage. And yesterday 21 January 2015 that
rumor became true. Yes, you heard it absolutely right. Now WhatsApp is
officially available for PC,no need to use third party applications like
Bluestacks , Youwave etc now.
Today, for the first time, millions
of you will have the ability to use WhatsApp on your web browser. Our
web client is simply an extension of your phone: the web browser mirrors
conversations and messages from your mobile device — this means all of
your messages still live on your phone. We really hope you find web
client useful in your everyday lives.

The new web client is a simple mirror from the WhatsApp app of your
phone,displayed in a Google Chrome page. Actually it is an extension of
the data from your phone.Its very simple to set up,and as long as you
have a working data connection on your phone you will be able to use
WhatsApp on your PC.
One more thing I want to tell our readers that , for using the PC
version of WhatsApp you must have an android phone with WhatsApp
installed on it.And for PC you need Google Chrome web browser. So,if you
open the WhatsApp web version using other web browser,you will see the
page below.
Download Google Chrome
To use the WhatsApp Web , first of all visit this page
https://web.whatsapp.com/ using Google Chrome. You will be greeted with the following page.
Now You will see a QR code — scan the code inside of WhatsApp, and
you’re ready to go. You have now paired WhatsApp on your phone with the
WhatsApp web client. Your phone needs to stay connected to the internet
for our web client to work, and please make sure to install the latest
version of WhatsApp on your phone.
Unfortunately , the Web Version of WhatsApp is not available for the
iOS users at this time due to some limitations of the platform.That’s
all for now.
