WhatsApp, the cheapest and most popular way for messaging, added a new feature, to  access WhatsApp account on your web browser.

To get this new feature make sure you have the latest version of WhatsApp on your phone, and follow below steps:

•  Simply open https://web.whatsapp.com in your Google Chrome browser.
•  You will see a QR code.
•  Open WhatsApp and go into menu to open  WhatsApp web scanner

Your phone needs to stay connected to the internet for the web client to work.

WhatsApp quoted : "Our web client is simply an extension of your phone: the web browser mirrors conversations and messages from your mobile device -- this means all of your messages still live on your phone." in their blog.


Currently this feature is available for Chrome browser only. And not available for WhatsApp user on iOS, due to limitations.
