WhatsApp Web for PC now available

The 2.11.498 version of WhatsApp for Android brought many surprises, and most important of all was activated just hours ago, it is WhatsApp Web for PC. Days ago the web.whatsapp.com page was protected by a Google Account, but we already can enjoy all WhatsApp messages from the computer.

Actually, once you’re inside WhatsApp Web, we see that its interface is much like Material Design, very minimalist, from which we can chat and access the chat history we already have in our device, show our profile and status, send photos and videos, and receive message notifications on our computer, which means that a handful of applications used to do this work are out.

How to install WhatsApp Web on your PC?

• The first thing you will need is to have at least version 2.11.498, you can download it from here.
• Once Installed we will see a new option appears in the menu of the application, it is “WhatsApp Web”.
• We click and a appears a QR code reader
• The next step is also very simple, we just go to our computer and from the Google Chrome browser, others like Firefox, Internet Explorer or Safari don’t work yet, and write the web.whatsapp.com address, click on it and go automatically .
• Now We scan the QR code that appears us on the page with our device and that’s all, automatically we can access to WhatsApp Web, with all our contacts and messages synchronized with our device.
• To Receive notifications remember to activate this function in WhatsApp Web (top left – see screen capture above).

Like you see the steps are really simple, anyway, you need your mobile device connected to the network to make it work. Once we have WhatsApp Web if we want to log out, because whenever we go to web.whatsapp.com we will see it active, from our phone we press again on the Web option WhatsApp web, and we closed the session by clicking on the option “Log out in all computers”.

How about this new feature of WhatsApp? is necessary to improve yet? You think that they gonna earn even more users?
