WhatsApp Web

While using your PC or laptop, if you get a text on WhatsApp from somebody then you'd have to look at the phone and then look back at the laptop and after a while it gets rather annoying. Now, some may already know about this but most people still don't know *(due to lack of proper explanation in the app)*, you can actually use your WhatsApp on your PC or laptop.

Supported Phones:

Now of course, you have to make sure your phone is supported, the list of supported phones are *(according to official WhatsApp website)* Android, iPhone 8.1+, Windows Phone 8.0 and 8.1, Nokia S60, Nokia S40 EVO, BlackBerry and BlackBerry 10 smartphones.

Things to keep in mind

There are a few things you should keep in mind. 1. Even though you are using it from your PC, your phone still needs an active connection. 2. Data charges will apply according to your network, if using cellular data on your phone. 3. You will need to have a stable internet connection on both your phone and your PC. 4. They now have an application for WhatsApp web as well on PC but it's not necessary as you can simply use it on your google chrome or Firefox or whatever browser you use.
