Did you know that you can be in front of the computer and answer your messages from WhatsApp with the convenience of a full physical keyboard and large screen? Not to mention the battery saving that means being able to access the chats of WhatsAppfrom the computer without having to turn on the mobile screen. This is WhatsApp Web, the WhatsApp platform for computers, either laptops or desktopsAn ideal complement for those who spend the day in front of the computer and who do not want to be checking their mobile with each notification. Here we teach you how to use it.
The first thing is to be clear about a couple of concepts that govern WhatsApp Web or the version of WhatsApp for computers On the one hand, you have to know that it is a complementary system that requires a mobile phone that is always connected and operational. So, unlike what happens with Telegram or Facebook Messenger, everything that happens in WhatsApp Web is a reflection of what happens through the mobile Thus, if a message does not reach the mobile because there is no coverage or Internet, it will not be displayed in WhatsApp Web on the computer. The good thing is that it is possible to enjoy all your content such as photos, videos, GIFs, Emoji emoticons and even audio notes.
The only thing you have to do to start using WhatsApp Web is to link a computer with the WhatsApp user account All you need to do is by opening a tab in any Internet browser on a computer and accessing the address web.whatsapp.com. At that moment the screen will show information about this service as well as a large QR code.
The following step must be carried out through the WhatsApp application from the mobile Simply access the application and display the main menu , it does not matter if it is used on Android, iOS or Windows Phone Among the different sections of the application appears WhatsApp Web
The next step to be carried out is described on a simple screen, which consists of scanning the aforementioned QR code You just have to accept the tutorial screen to activate the mobile camera and be able to frame said code In practically less than a second a simple vibration confirms that the process has been carried out satisfactorily.
On the tab of the computer where the WhatsApp page now appears the user's chats. Just like on mobile, you can browse through recent conversations and view past messages and, of course, write new ones.
WhatsApp Web has practically the same options as the mobile application.Thus, if you have connected webcam you can also take selfies And, if you have a microphone , it is possible to share voice notes In addition, from the sharing icon, it is possible to send contact information , different types of files and images saved in some folder.
The negative point is that WhatsApp Web can only be use on one computer at a time. Thus, each time it is used on a new computer, the aforementioned configuration process must be carried out. The good is that, from the application, in the WhatsApp Web menu, it is possible to deny access to all these computers to protect the user's privacy.
