Previously Whatsapp allowed users to have access to their account through browser but now at the start of the 2017 it has launched an official WhatsApp app for desktop and computers. Now you can use Whatsapp on desktop app without opening it on browser.
The method of using WhatsApp is very easy you just have to follow these simple steps:
1) Download desktop app through the official website.
2) The setup will run automatically if not then click on the downloaded file.
3) Now scan the QR code through your Smartphone .
4) As soon as the scan is completed the desktop app opens your WhatsApp account and now you can use it from your computer, by selecting ‘keep me signed in’ means you will not have to repeat the QR scan again.
The desktop app is only supported by Windows 8 or later versions, the app is also available for MAC OS and the steps are same for both.
