Currently the use of WhatsApp is widespread, so many users can no longer live without it. Its use ranges from the personal to the corporate sphere and is increasingly present in our lives. Traditionally WhatsApp was an application for use in smartphones, but for some time now we can use WhatApp Web from the PC browser .
Sometimes we prefer to focus on a single device and have physical keys like the keyboard of a desktop computer. With WhatsApp Web, forget about having to check your smartphone every time while using the PC. You will be able to consult your new messages and write in the chats from the PC as if it were the smartphone app.
The arrival of WhastApp Web also meant an advance for companies, which can now offer support through this instant messaging application in a comfortable way.
How to start using WhatsApp Web from your computer's browser.
First of all we should point out that in the case of WhatsApp, an application designed for desktop is not used, but rather it is an interface for the browser . In this aspect, other applications, such as Telegram , do offer customers specially designed for desktop.
In the case of WhatsApp Web, it will be necessary to have our mobile device close by as it will be needed during the synchronization process.
Syncing the smartphone with WhatsApp web in the browser.
The method is a bit farfetched, but once you use it a couple of times you can see that it is easier than it seems. First of all we have to access from the browser of the PC to the URL https://web.whatsapp.com/ . In this page we can read the instructions that we must follow, but we will explain them in more detail.
When we open the previous URL we see that a QR code appears, which is an image with black and white pixels like the one you can see below.
This QR code will be responsible for you being able to synchronize the WhatsApp of the smartphone with the WhatsApp of the browser. So open WhatsApp on your smartphone and from the options select the "WhatsApp Web" option . This will start the camera of your mobile device, with which you will have to scan the QR code that appeared on the screen when accessing the URL https://web.whatsapp.com/ .
You will see that an interface appears with a box in the center, in which you will have to fit and focus the QR code. After a few seconds, you will see that you will already identify yourself in the web browser and you can start answering in the chats using the PC keyboard.
Be careful when scanning the QR code, it expires fast.
When scanning the QR code make sure it is perfectly framed within the square of the scanner , otherwise the entire process may fail. In addition, you must be fast, because the generated QR code has a few minutes of life and if it expires we will have to refresh the page .
Check if I have the WhatsApp web session started on another device.
It is important to close the session when we stop using WhatsApp Web, because if we leave the session open it can be a risk. To help us with this, if we access the WhatsApp Web section within the smartphone, it will tell us if we have open sessions and the time of the last activity.
