WhatsApp Web is the browser-based version of WhatsApp that allows users to send and receive messages, share files, and join group chats from a desktop or laptop without needing to install additional software. It works by syncing with the WhatsApp app on your phone via a QR code scan and is compatible with major browsers like Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox, and Opera. WhatsApp Web supports multi-device use, enabling you to stay connected even if your phone is off or offline, and offers a cleaner, faster interface for easier messaging in 2025. To use it, you simply go to web.whatsapp.com in your browser and scan the QR code using the Linked Devices feature in the WhatsApp mobile app. Always log out after use on shared devices to keep chats private.
