| PC or MAC Whatsapp Interface |
WhatsApp is a popular phone application that sends messages via the internet instead of SMS. It is available for both Android and iPhone, and you can download the WhatsApp desktop app or access WhatsApp from your browser.
WhatsApp is designed for phones, so the purpose of web and desktop apps is to work with your mobile app, not change it. You can send messages via WhatsApp in your browser or on your desktop, but you can only use a mobile phone. To use WhatsApp in a browser or on your desktop, you need to install WhatsApp on your phone and set up an account in advance. Then you need to connect WhatsApp web and desktop apps to your phone. Your phone requires a working internet connection to use web and desktop apps and your messages must be synced across all devices. The last thing you need is that you can only sign in to one browser or desktop app at a time.
To access WhatsApp from your browser:
Go to web.whatsapp.com.
