Enjoy WhatsApp on your web browser now

For the first time, millions of us will have the ability to use WhatsApp on our web browser. The web client is simply an extension of our phone: the web browser mirrors conversations and messages from our mobile device -- this means all of our messages still live on our phone.

To connect the web browser to the WhatsApp client, simply open https://web.whatsapp.com in your Google Chrome browser. You will see a QR code --- scan the code inside of WhatsApp, and you’re ready to go. You have now paired WhatsApp on your phone with the WhatsApp web client. Your phone needs to stay connected to the internet for our web client to work, and please make sure to install the latest version of WhatsApp on your phone.
