You don't actually need to download WhatsApp to use it on your PC or Mac. Instead, you can head to web.whatsapp.com and run it from a web browser. When you arrive on that page you'll need to scan a QR code by launching WhatsApp on your phone and heading to Menu or Settings, then WhatsApp Web, to access the code reader.
As we mentioned, your phone needs to have an active internet connection, and with that once you've connected your account with the WhatsApp Web client, they will remain connected even if you've travelled to as far as some other country.
WhatsApp Web allows you to use WhatsApp on your computer. However, it still requires a smartphone to scan the QR code for authentication and works only if the smartphone is connected to a network. Messenger, which is also owned by Facebook can be used on a computer without a smartphone.
To log in to WhatsApp on WhatsApp Web, WhatsApp Desktop, or Portal, you need to use your phone to scan the QR code.
- Open WhatsApp on your phone.
- Select the checkbox next to Keep me signed in on the QR screen on your computer or Portal to stay logged in on this device.
