The WhatsApp web version is now available in three browsers.

A month ago , the web version of WhatsApp was launched, which only worked with the Chrome browser. And yesterday, the program’s support was expanded by two more popular browsers - Firefox (30+) and Opera. Now users of these browsers will be able to communicate with their contacts from a convenient computer keyboard.

Unfortunately, the web client works only if the smartphone is turned on, it is running a mobile version of WhatsApp and it has an Internet connection. The site states that this is done to ensure message synchronization - however, this scheme of work reduces the utility of the application. In addition, the ability to use the web client is deprived of the owners of devices on iOS.

Login to the web-version is also carried out with the mandatory presence of a smartphone. In the menu of the mobile application, select the item “WhatsApp Web” and scan the QR code from the monitor via the camera. To do this quite once, then quick access to the application will be saved on this computer.

Undoubtedly, the web version of the famous application is an attempt to keep up with competitors. For example, Telegram, the brainchild of Pavel Durov, which the creator of WhatsApp accused of stealing ideas , is developing much more actively and has long received a web client. Durov even predicted that, following attempts to implement encryption on WhatsApp, the implementation of the web client would follow.
