Bye Emulators, Whatsapp Now Available on PC

Finally, we can say goodbye to Bluestacks and other Android emulators which enable us to access Whatsapp on our PC/Laptop. This is good news for users of the popular cross-platform instant messaging app. Already, recent studies have shown that more Whatsapp messages are sent per day than conventional SMS.

The whatsapp for PC is an extension of the one you are running on your mobile phone and is only available by a Google Chrome Plugin. This means that all your messages are still live on your phone.

PROCEDURES

To use Whatsapp on your PC,

• Visit web.whatsapp.com in your Google Chrome browser
• A QR code will be shown that can be scanned by the mobile version of whatsapp
• Now your phone has been paired and your chats will be mirrored to your PC.

Make sure you have he latest version of Whatsapp installed on your phone and keep your phone connected to the internet.

The QR codes will look like the above picture with instruction for each compatible device. From the above, you can see iOS users have been left out. This is due to "Apple platform limitations" as reported by Whatsapp.
Maybe soon, voice call compatibility will be added by the Facebook owned company.
