Whatsapp from the web - Official!!

[faniebraai]

So just found out this morning via @OGroteKoning that with Whatsapp's latest update you can Whatsapp from the web. How awesome is that?

If the update is not yet available on your handset, here's the latest apk: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/whatsapp-inc/whatsapp/whatsapp-2-11-500-apk/

Setting it up:
- Go to web.whatsapp.com
- Open your upgraded Whatsapp -> Settings -> Whatsapp web
- Then proceed to scan the QR code

Done.

Odd - with the latest APK, I don't have Whatapp web available in settings to scan the QR code.

2.11.500, from the link in the OP. But exiting Whatsapp and then restarting made the option available, so I'm sorted, thanks.

WhatsApp Web only works in Google Chrome.

No need to load the APK, it's the latest one in the Play Store, which probably auto updated already.

In order to get the menu to show the Web option, do the following:

Back up your conversations in WhatsApp
Go to your Android Settings -> Applications -> Whatsapp -> Clear Data, then Force Stop
Then go back into WhatsApp, it will pull your conversations back in and voila - full menu.

. But why so I wonder

 

[hellfire]

Does it use any more data on my phone than before?

 

[faniebraai]

Does it use any more data on my phone than before?

probably will yes

 

[OGroteKoning]

probably will yes

YES! Upload of existing messages or pics or whatever from the phone

 

[hellfire]

Why would it do that? Surely it would pull that from the server?

You'd think, but no.
Your phone has to be on and have a data connection for this web app to work. It's a joke.
