January 22, 2015

WhatsApp, everybody’s favorite instant messaging app has finally come to the desktop. The company launched the web based version of the app allowing Whatsapp users the world over to now chat with their counterparts over the web.

That said, there are certain restrictions that apply to the web client. For one, the web service is only available on Google Chrome browser for Android, Windows Phone, Nokia $60, Blackberry and BB10 smartphones. iOS users will have to wait it out while WhatsApp figures out its way around Apple’s platform limitations. Secondly, WhatsApp Web service is only available as an extension of the phone and is not an independent or standalone service. That means that if your phone is not working or is switched off, the desktop version of Whatsapp won’t work. If you happen to meet these requirements, then here’s how you set up WhatsApp Web on your PC.
