At
this point in the film, absolutely everyone already knows what WhatsApp is.
What not everyone knows is that the instant messaging and chat app is not only
designed to work on Android and iPhone smartphones, but it can also be
installed on a PC to be used from the desktop with its official application and
not with developments of third companies.

WhatsApp client for Windows is a reality
Thus,
a claim of the users of the application that demanded to be able to chat from
the PC is fulfilled, as other alternatives to WhatsApp have previously allowed,
such as Telegram, LINE or Facebook Messenger. With WhatsApp Messenger for
computer we will carry out practically any action that we can do from the
phone.
How
does WhatsApp work on the computer?
Remember
WhatsApp Web, the web version of the app? Well it's similar. If the webapp
version worked from a browser window where you had to read a QR code with your
phone by selecting the Web option in the settings, here it is similar: you run
the application and with the phone you read the QR code. In reality it is only
a browser dedicated exclusively to the chat program.
All
your contacts and conversations will be present in the same way as on the
smartphone, so you can continue conversations that you left behind. The
downside of this version is that you need to have the phone connected and with
an active data connection.
