In case of Viber or Telegram, your phone is required only for a 1-time SMS verification. Scan the QR code shown on the desktop/laptop browser with the WhatsApp Web/Desktop option the app. Make sure the padlock symbol is present in front of the url. These competing apps do not require the mobile version to be running on your phone. Given the risks of using free VPNs, we think the price of 6.67 per month is absolutely worth paying - it comes with a no-questions-asked 30 day money back guarantee too. It will ask you to scan a QR code if it is not already linked to any web browser or desktop. Compared to similar solutions like Viber or Telegram, it is a very basic app and lacks many features offered by competing apps in their Desktop versions. So, if you are a Windows 7 user, you can get WhatsApp working with very minor limitations. Toast notifications which are available only in Windows 8 and Windows 10 will not work obviously but this is not a big deal, because toast notifications show anyone looking at your screen all the WhatsApp messages that you receive, violating your privacy.
When someone messages you, it draws a red overlay icon on its Taskbar button indicating unread messages just like Skype for Desktop does. Also, it does not support voice calls yet.īy using it briefly I found it perfectly usable in Windows 7. The app requires you to keep mobile WhatsApp running on your phone, exactly like the Web version does.
#Whatsapp desktop web browser install
