Some information about the new WhatsApp app for computers

The WhatsApp computer application only works on devices with Windows 8 (or later) and Mac OSX 10.9 (and later) operating systems.

Why did WhatsApp decide to launch a desktop application? Offering new opportunities is always a good choice for a company. But perhaps the reason is deeper, and concerns the intention on the part of WhatsApp to orient itself more and more to the business world, with dedicated services.

Does the phone have to be logged in to use WhatsApp on a computer? Yes, it must be turned on, close to the computer (max about 3 meters) and with the internet connection (data or Wi-Fi) active.

Enable desktop notifications

After launching the WhatsApp interface on your PC for the first time, you will have the option to activate desktop notifications. This option will be highlighted in blue above your chat list.

If you want to turn on desktop notifications:

  1. Click  Turn on desktop notifications
  2. A window will appear asking you to allow notifications. Click  Allow .

How to disconnect from the WhatsApp app for Pc

If you forgot to log out of your WhatsApp session on your computer, you can also log out of your phone (which is a great way to not be spied on on WhatsApp from your pc).

Do this:

  1. Open the WhatsApp app on your phone by tapping it
  2. Open the  Chat screen  and select  Menu  and then  WhatsApp Web
  3. Here you can view all the computers you are logged in to and can log out of a session of your choice
