WhatsApp now also works on the PC
Users of the messaging service WhatsApp can now send messages from their computers as well. WhatsApp announced on Wednesday in its company blog that the app can now be used via the Google Chrome web browser.
For the web service to work, however, the smartphone must also be connected to the Internet in parallel. "The web browser mirrors chats and messages from your mobile device - which means all your messages are still on your phone," the Facebook-owned company explained.
The application's web service is virtually an "extension" of the phone. The Internet service only runs via the Google Chrome Internet browser. Those who use WhatsApp via their iPhone, however, cannot use the web service. There are "limitations" with the Apple platform, the WhatsApp blog said.
If you want to use WhatsApp from the desktop, you have to go to the Google Chrome browser and open the web page Web.whatsapp.com call up. A QR code appears there, which must be scanned with the smartphone. In this way, the WhatsApp service on the phone is connected to the PC, explained the short message service. (SDA)
