WhatsApp Is Now Officially On PC - See How To Use It


Following the detailed rumors, the messaging application has now announced a feature everyone has been waiting for. 
You can now access WhatsApp from your PC. This feature is available only for Android, Nokia s60, BlackBerry and Windows phone users(no iOS for now).

Geeks have already found workarounds to using WhatsApp on the PC most of which requires software like "Bluestacks" and "Andy".
The disadvantage of this was that, you could not use the same WhatsApp account simultaneously on phone and PC.

Here's how to go about it;
  • Update to the latest version of WhatsApp on your phone.
  • Using your browser (Google Chrome only) navigate to web.whatsapp.com. You should see a page with a big QR code on the side.
  • Inside WhatsApp, open ‘Menu’ and look for ‘WhatsApp Web’. (Blackberry 10 users have to swipe from top)
  • Point the screen to scan the QR code within WhatsApp. The rest is taken care of.
  • (optional) Choose if you want to receive notifications for new messages via Chrome notifications. Dazall!
You can use WhatsApp Web anytime by navigating to
web.whatsapp.com on Chrome.
Follow the same steps to install WhatsApp on any number of PCs.

Bear in mind that requires that, your phone is always connected to the internet, for the web client to work. So you have a very limited data plan or no access to Wi-Fi, use this feature with caution.
