WHATSAPP NOW AVAILABLE IN DESKTOP VERSION

Do you know that you can now use WhatsApp in your Laptop/PC/Desktop? Now you know, coming direct from the Forbes, the news broke that the Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has developed another version for WhatsApp allowing individuals to use their WhatsApp account on their desktop.

This version of WhatsApp is dubbed "WhatsApp Web." To run it, visit web.whatsapp.com.

Some vital information/limitation to this WhatsApp web version includes:

To Log Into your WhatsApp web, you will need to scan the QR code with your phone. The very phone must have the latest WhatsApp mobile installed in it.
iOS devices are not supported. Though WhatsApp plans to launch WhatsApp Web for iOS users, but that timeframe is unknown. The reason why WhatsApp Web is not available for iOS now is due to Apple platform limitations.
WhatsApp Web is accessible through Android, Windows Phone, BlackBerry or Nokia S60 devices. You will need to have the latest version of WhatsApp installed on those phones and also you have to run WhatsApp Web from the Google Chrome web browser (Internet explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Operamini among others are not permitted).

Why do you have to take a picture of a QR code to log into WhatsApp Web?

WhatsApp uses phone numbers and SMS to verify users instead of traditional usernames and passwords. This is why you do not see a normal login screen. TechCrunch also pointed out that it somehow uses your phone for more than just the initial login. If you phone dies, then your WhatsApp Web session also disconnects.

Do you plan to use WhatsApp Web or have you tried it already? Let us know in the comments section below!
