After achieving massive success with its mobile application, the social media giant WhatsApp is planning to strengthen its desktop appearance as well and thereby become active in almost every space a user inhabits through the day from home to the office. Latest news suggest that WhatApp might be working on a Windows App. Yes! To develop its own desktop app, WhatsApp is doing the unthinkable by actually working with Microsoft. 

While WhatsApp is working on its desktop features, it needs to be noted that, WhatsApp has a desktop app already, but it misses out on features like voice and video calling. 

Pairing your phone with the WhatsApp on desktop is very easy. 

Open WhatsApp on your computer or visit web.whatsapp.com on your computer. (Make sure it is the official client or website)

When prompted with a QR code, use the QR scanner within WhatsApp to scan the QR code.

To do so, open WhatsApp on your phone. 

  • On Android: in the Chats screen > Menu > WhatsApp Web.
  • On iPhone: go to Settings > WhatsApp Web.
  • On Windows Phone: go to Menu > WhatsApp Web.
  • Scan the QR Code on your computer screen from your phone.

To logout of desktop from WhatsApp

  • Go to WhatsApp on your phone > Go to Settings or Menu.
  • Tap on WhatsApp Web.
  • Tap Logout from all computers.

If you believe someone has scanned your QR code and has access to your account via WhatsApp Web, use the instruction above to log out of all your active web sessions in WhatsApp on your mobile phone.

It needs to be noted that, if you are unable to scan the QR code, ensure that the main camera on your phone is functioning properly. If the camera is not able to auto-focus, blurry or is broken, you may not be able to scan the barcode. Currently, there is no other way of logging into WhatsApp on your desktop.

However this is the most basic way of linking Whatsapp with web. Interestingly, according to a Gadgets Now report, there is an option to use WhatsApp from your desktop without a browser by downloading the platform via the Apple App Store or the Microsoft Store. 
 
 Here's how you can still operate WhatsApp on PC apart from WhatsApp Web, as per Gadgets Now data.

5. Wait for WhatsApp to install on your computer.
6. Once the install is complete, you will see a QR code on the screen of your PC.
7. Open WhatsApp on your smartphone and go to WhatsApp Web.
