What is WhatsApp Web?
WhatsApp Web is the version of WhatsApp for the computer. It is not necessary to create a new account, but, through this version, you will connect the laptop/computer with your mobile phone, and you will have most of the functions of the application on the screen of your computer.
We say the majority because, today, it is not possible to perform with the desktop version one hundred percent of the actions that WhatsApp allows on the mobile. But, anyway, it serves more than enough to get by if you need to use a keyboard and a large screen to communicate with your contacts and share files.
Why WhatsApp Web?
WhatsApp plays a significant role in the lives of people. Especially in your mobile experience. But why limit yourself to your smartphone? If you want to send more emojis per minute or if you’re going to write an essential speech to your best friend. No problem! You can continue whatsapeando with your computer with WhatsApp Web.

WhatsApp Web was not a pioneer. Applications and programs to communicate with friends have been popular among users for decades. Since the late ’90s, when Microsoft launched the now-extinct Messenger, we have never lacked a platform to chat from the computer with our contacts.
Almost twenty years have passed since that pioneering program in which we saw our online contacts to talk to them (many more years since the first chats in use, such as Talkomatic or IRC) and, now, it can be said that WhatsApp is the queen of the messaging applications. Its number of users is around 1,000 million people, mostly through smartphones, but there is also a web version that is very useful and comfortable when we are with the computer, and we want to keep conversations without taking off from the big screen.
