The web version of WhatsApp has already been officially launched after numerous rumors about its creation. A very useful option for those users who prefer the comfort of a monitor and a physical keyboard when writing their WhatsApp Of course, to be able to useWhatsApp Web It is necessary to follow a couple of simple steps. A process that ensures the privacy and security of the content that users send to each other. This is how it works WhatsApp Web
The first thing to do is access the web version of WhatsApp through your computer. A requirement that, for the moment, can only be carried out through the browser Google Chrome Simply access this address to find the service page and a QR code
After that you have to use your smartphone, making sure that both in the case of Android and Windows Phone, there is the latest version available of the application WhatsApp And it is only the last account with the option to scan QR codes of the service WhatsApp Web Simply visit Google Play and Windows Phone Store to get these versions.
Once installed on the device, all you have to do is access the screen menu Chats where to find, along with new conversations and broadcasts, the option WhatsApp Web This activates the rear camera of the terminal, indicating with a drawing the scanning of the QR code Just by framing said drawing, and in just a few seconds, WhatsApp Web is ready to be used.
What WhatsApp Web does is link and reflect the conversations that the user has on his mobile. For this reason, it is necessary to keep the smartphone connected to the Internet, preferably to a network WiFi to avoid excessive data consumption. With all this, the user can see at all times, and updated, the chats and messages received and sent.As well as active conversations. The design of WhatsApp Web is wide and simple, allowing the Chats screen to be stacked on the left sideand leaving the rest of the space to the conversation. A space perhaps somewhat wasted but that is useful to comfortably see the shared images.
And the fact is that the multimedia contents are also present in this version for computers. Of course, as long as you have a webcam on your computer. In this way it is possible to click on the clip of the conversation, at the top right, to be able to record a video and send it directly through individual or group conversations. Something similar happens with photos, although in this case it is possible to select files stored on the computerto be sent individually or in groups.Finally there are the audio notes The usual messages push to talk available in the version mobile. The rest of the content can be received and consulted on the computer, even with the option to download itand store it on this device.
The rest is left for the written messages through the comfort of a physical keyboard. Not forgetting the charismatic Emoji emoticons, which are also present in this Web version. Just click on the conversation you want to open and start writing messages. A experience very similar to that seen on mobile phones and that synchronizes instantly between both devices so that unread messages are reported and those that are read are not marked.
Apart from these issues, the web version offers other very interesting details such as starting a new conversation with another contact. Simply click on the icon again Chat at the top left and select the contact. Of course, for the moment only individual conversations. In addition, next to the option to start new conversations there is also a menu where consult the status and profile picture current, although it is not possible to modify them from WhatsApp Web The notifications option is also found in this menu A most interesting extra point. And, by activating them, the user can scontinue performing other tasks on the computer and be alerted by a new sound message, without having to touch the mobile.In addition, these notifications are pop-up, appearing in the lower right corner of the screen even if the user is in another tab or program on the computer. Undoubtedly, a good option to be able to read the content of the message without accessing the chat and trigger the double blue check And this indicator is also present inWhatsApp Web, as long as the user has not deactivated it on their mobile.
In short, a particularly useful tool for those who prefer the comfort of a computer to that of a mobile to send messages Something that in the more savvy users will know how to take advantage of it at work or in class. In addition, its operation is agile and visually very attractive, respecting the eexperience of WhatsApp on mobile.Its only weak points are a bad translation into Spanish, that focuses on Latin American Spanish; not being able to manage controls and settings of the application from the computer and, finally, the inability to selectively mute some chats And it is that the silenced conversations on the mobile are notified in WhatsApp Web Questions that, hopefully, will be solved soon.
