Downloading whatsapp for pc

A review by Felix Cheng. WhatsApp for PC is the desktop version of the popular instant messaging application owned by Facebook. It's more often than not used on mobile platforms such as Android and iOS but WhatsApp has developed a version for Windows which can synchronize with your mobile phone.

Getting started with this chat client is quite simple. Get the application up and running by scanning a QR code from your screen on your phone and you'll then be authorized to use WhatsApp for PC connected to your cell phone number. The main interface will then be populated with your contacts and chat history. This will allow you to scan the QR code that the Windows client is displaying. With the PC version of WhatsApp, you've got access to all of your contacts that you would normally chat with on the mobile application directly from your desktop.

This version integrates many of the mobile features which make the transition between desktop and phone pretty seamless. Permissions info.
