You do not need to download any apps or extensions to start using WhatsApp Web. This will surely cool down some of the frustrated users which, for this reason have switched to other cross-platform messaging apps which are available for desktops as well. The sole purpose of bringing WhatsApp Web is to address the issue of limiting the users to the smaller mobile screen when they are sitting next to their desktops or a laptops with a bigger screen and a dedicated physical keyboard. WhatsApp Web is also not a standalone application and you cannot create a new WhatsApp account using it. Also, as it runs within the browser, compatibility with different systems and hardware is not an issue. The chat messages will still be stored on your phone as you continue your chats on the Web client. To say it simply and clearly, WhatsApp Web makes your WhatsApp chats accessible on the bigger monitor, hence still requiring the smartphone to be actively connected to the internet. That said, WhatsApp Web does not work unless your smartphone has WhatsApp installed and it has internet connectivity.

WhatsApp Web basically mirrors the chats from your phone to your PC’s browser (Google Chrome, Firefox and Opera) and makes it easier for the users to continue their chats when they are using their computers. Just tap the paperclip icon and choose document. Update: WhatsApp Web and Desktop Apps are updated to bring support for sharing documents. Staying Safe – Be cautious & Disconnect Unknown Devices.
