If you're using WhatsApp Web for the first time, it’s a quick and simple process that lets you access your WhatsApp chats from your computer’s browser. This is especially useful when you're working on a desktop or laptop and want to stay connected without switching between devices. WhatsApp Web mirrors your mobile app, meaning all your messages and media appear just as they do on your phone.

To get started, open a web browser on your computer and visit web.whatsapp.com . You’ll see a QR code on the screen. Now, open WhatsApp on your smartphone. If you're using an Android device, tap the three-dot menu in the top right corner and select “Linked devices.” On an iPhone, go to “Settings” and tap on “Linked Devices.” Then tap on “Link a Device,” and your phone’s camera will open. Use it to scan the QR code on your computer screen.
