Step by step to use WhatsApp Web without having the mobile connected
To use WhatsApp Web without having the mobile connected, it is not necessary to install any strange program or Google Chrome extension. To do so you must perform the following steps:
- In the browser of our computer (a Windows PC or a Mac) we write the address of WhatsApp Web: https://web.whatsapp.com
- If we had already linked our mobile with WhatsApp Web, we will probably see a message that it is necessary to update to a new version. We accept and wait for the page to load again.
- This multi-device version of WhatsApp Web will force us to scan a QR code. To do this, in the WhatsApp application on our smartphone, click on ‘Menu’ (three vertical dots on Android) or ‘Settings’ (the gear icon on iPhone) and then choose ‘Linked devices’.
- We click on ‘Link a device’, accept the resulting dialog box and point the camera at the QR code on our computer screen.
- WhatsApp Web will open after a few seconds of loading in which we are assured that all our communications will remain encrypted from end to end. Then you can open the individual or group chat you want and you can send messages as normal.
In this way, you can use whatsapp web on your PC or laptop without any problem and you will be able to realize that even if your phone does not have an internet connection, the session on the computer will continue normally.
