You can click on the service buttons on the right upper parts each area of ​​the window in the form of three vertically located dots - and call up a menu related to either to this user from the contact list, or to the chat.

Unfortunately, this version of WhatsApp is not yet available for iOS users.

Although there is a rumor that in one of the subsequent versions, access to WhatsApp Web will be open to iPhone owners.

• any document from your hard drive.

Features of WhatsApp Online

In general, all the functionality from mobile version WhatsApp has been carefully transferred to whatsapp online. The user can do everything exactly the same as from his smartphone.

All data regarding application settings, contacts and archives of correspondence are also synchronized between the mobile and browser versions.

While the online version is running, you cannot turn off your phone, otherwise the connection will be lost in WhatsApp online.

Sorry, but call from web WhatsApp versions also not possible. Perhaps the developers will soon add a feature such as at least a voice call, but for now such a feature is not available. This may be due to the fact that you can call from the phone version anyway.

Of course, the above method of logging into WhatsApp online Some may not find it very convenient. However, in any case, such a method exists, and in some cases it can be really useful. For example, if you want to quickly type messages, and not understand the mobile virtual keyboard. Or if you don’t want to take time off from working on the computer in order to be able to respond to a message received on WhatsApp.

Users of the popular WhatsApp messenger sooner or later have a question about how to scan the code in WhatsApp through their phone. Many people don’t understand why, when they try to log into WhatsApp on a computer, they are shown a black square and, most importantly, what to do with it. This square is called a QR code and it serves as a login to identify the user. In most cases, we use a login and password to log into websites, so at first the QR code may be confusing, but in practice it is even more convenient.

When you want to open the web whatsapp version and you go to the page web.whatsapp.com and you are faced with a QR code, there are no fields for login and password.

To scan the code in WhatsApp via your phone you need:

1... Launch the Whatsapp application on your phone

2... Go to the “Chats” tab, press the menu button (three dots) and select “WhatsApp Web”

3... Click on the plus sign in the upper right corner of the screen (this step will be needed if you have previously opened the web version of WhatsApp, if not, then step 4)

4... Point the smartphone at the monitor screen so that the code is inside the camera square.

After these simple steps, the Web version of WhatsApp will open on your PC.

The computer version of the messenger is very convenient and allows you to use all the messaging functions; sending audio files is much more convenient here. If you were sent PDF document and your mobile device cannot open it, then you can easily download it in the web version. I use browser-based WhatsApp because while sitting at the computer I don’t have to pick up my phone to read messages.

How WhatsApp web works

For it to work, your Android on which the application is installed must be connected to the Internet. That is, if you turn off the Internet on your smartphone, the browser version will stop receiving and sending messages. This was apparently done so that it was impossible to use his account without the knowledge of the owner of the phone.

How to log out of the web version of WhatsApp?

If you logged into the web version on someone else's computer and forgot to log out. If the computer is no longer at hand, it won’t be difficult to exit the web version. To do this, open the same menu item “Whatsapp Web” (TsrfeyFzz tsui) on your phone and you will see open sessions on your computer.

To log out, click “Log out from all computers” and confirm the desire to “Sign out”. Your WhatsApp will be immediately closed on all computers.

Now you've seen how easy it is to scan whatsapp code via your phone and use it from your PC.

WhatsApp is free program, which helps us save on SMS. Usually it is installed on the phone, but there are times when WhatsApp is simply necessary on the computer. The creators of this program did not take care of this! They have released many versions for: iPhone, Android, BlackBerry, Nokia, Windows Phone. But, for the PC, alas, they forgot or didn’t want to.

There are several ways to download WhatsApp for your computer in order to take advantage of all the functions of the application without having a phone.

Let's consider the second installation option in more detail. Before installation, we recommend that you read the video instructions.

WhatsApp on PC via emulator

There is nothing complicated about it, just follow these instructions with pictures:

Hello, dear readers of the blog site. At one time, I wrote where I briefly described the functionality of these applications for mobile phones and held a vote on which program turned out better. However, it is not always convenient to use these applications from a mobile phone and I would like to be able to use, for example, WhatsApp on a computer(this makes typing much faster, and in general, since you are sitting at a PC, there is no need to hold a cell phone in your hands - I already wrote about this in the article).

In general, the online version of the program called WhatsApp Web available on the official website starting in the summer of 2016. This greatly simplifies the use of this software on a computer. Thus, today there are two main options for using WhatsApp on a PC - online, that is, through a browser (web version) or by installing a special WhatsAppSetup application from the official website on your computer. Let's take a quick look at them...

What you need to consider before installing WhatsApp Web on your computer

To avoid problems during installation, keep in mind a few basic important nuances:

Install WhatsApp on your computer

As I mentioned, it is especially important so that WhatsApp is installed on your mobile phone. To do this, simply go to the application manager on your mobile phone and type “WhatsApp” into the search bar.

Install the application you found (note that at least a billion users have already installed it before you) and follow the steps of the wizard (the application is linked to your mobile phone number, which you will need to confirm). It's simple.

If all the above conditions are met, then we proceed directly to installing WhatsApp on your computer or laptop. To do this, go to the official website mentioned above https://www.whatsapp.com(I would like to draw your attention to the situation that has recently worsened and I advise you to follow the advice given in the link safe use network) and go to the file downloads section on the tab of the same name " Download" .

There we select the operating system - Windows or Mac. Then everything is as always - select the download location on your PC, after the download process is complete, open the WhatsAppSetup.exe file and follow the steps of the installation wizard.

P.S. Personally, my installation of WhatsApp on my PC froze at the very beginning (on Windows 10). However, everything worked when I right-clicked on the WhatsAppSetup.exe file and selected the “Run as administrator” option:

It is possible that this may also be useful to someone.

After the installation process reaches the stage shown in the screenshot below, you will need to open WhatsApp on your smartphone and follow the instructions on this page (depending on the type of your mobile device— Android, iPhone or something else):

The most important thing here is located in the upper left corner, because it is it that will allow you to synchronize data between the version of WhatsApp on your computer and on mobile phone. Accordingly, now you will need to take your smartphone and open whatsapp app, then open the menu in the upper right corner (click on the ellipsis) and select WhatsApp Web:

You will say (click) that “ok, okay” and you will get the opportunity to recognize the QR code, after which you will immediately see your WhatsApp contact sheet on your computer in a separate window of the newly installed program:

It is extremely easy to use - just a few menu items and convenient tools in communication windows.

Let us remind you that WhatsApp must be installed on your smartphone and running all the time while you are working with this program on your PC! If the phone is turned off, there will be no Internet on it or the application will be inactive, Whatsapp on the computer will not work either.

WhatsApp Web - go to WhatsApp via a browser (online)

The developers of the application (by the way, it was bought by Facebook several years ago for lard of evergreens) on their official website (mindful of the aspirations of their users) offer not only a version of the program for the computer, but also Possibility of accessing WhatsApp online, i.e. via a web browser.

In this case, you don’t even need to install anything - just on the official website https://www.whatsapp.com go to the “WhatsApp Web” tab or you can immediately follow the link: https://web.whatsapp.com/ (it makes sense to immediately so as not to look for it later).

Next, the algorithm of actions is the same as after installing the application on your computer (see just above) - go to WhatsApp from your smartphone, go there (on your phone) to the “WhatsApp Web” tab from the top drop-down menu and recognize the QR code with your phone, shown on web.whatsapp.com.

After this you immediately get access to the web version of WhatsApp directly from your browser window on your computer (that is, online).

True, the smartphone will still have to be kept on running application Whatsapp and available internet access. Otherwise, “there will be no kin.” But it’s still very convenient and I’m glad that the developers themselves are finally concerned about the convenience of their users.

Good luck to you! See you soon on the pages of the blog site

Before the release of WhatsApp for the computer, WhatsApp Web was the only replacement for a PC application that works on the same principle. In many offices or universities it is prohibited to make changes to work computers, and correspondence from the phone is not always convenient. With this application this is not required and after communication there will be no traces left on someone else’s PC. In this case, all chats and even created groups are automatically synchronized with the phone. That is, you can continue communication on another device at any time.

How to call

You can only make calls via a webcam using an emulator. There is no official calling feature on WhatsApp Web yet. Apparently this is due to the heavy load on the site.

Calls are also not available on WhatsApp for PC, since it works through the online version.
