Whatsapp Now On Desktop

gemz4the1 — Thu, 22 Jan 2015 09:36:59 GMT

The popular mobile app Whatsapp is now being introduced in desktop format, currently only on Chrome.

The desktop version is classed as an 'extension of your phone' and it 'mirrors conversations and messages from your mobile device.'

However one of the big flaws (for me) is that it will not allow integration with the iPhone. 😞 This is reportedly due to 'Apple platform limitations.' So since I will be unable to use it, I hope many other people can enjoy it and give their opinion.

It only works with Chrome and a non-Apple device.

In order to get this feature, you need to go to https://web.whatsapp.com on your chrome browser (on your computer or laptop) and it will show a QR code which you need to scan using your mobile device and this will sync your account.

Is their a communication route you can use to report back that the feature would be a useful addition gemz4the1 ?

I can't seem to find a feedback option, but from what I have read, the developers have tried to include an Apple platform, however there were too many limitations. Hopefully in the future it will be possible.

I still prefer it to be on the iPhone rather than on a desktop, defeats the original objective of the app
