WhatsApp Desktop is the official WhatsApp client for Windows that lets you use this popular instant messaging tool from the comfort of your desktop. Thanks to this app, you can read and type messages comfortably from your PC without having to look at your Android device or your iPhone every time you receive a new notification. At your disposal are exactly the same features and tools as in the mobile apps.

A very simple way to log in

To start using WhatsApp Desktop, you first must log in with your WhatsApp user account. Luckily, this process is quick and easy and can be completed in seconds. All you have to do is use the WhatsApp app on your smartphone and scan the QR code on the PC screen. Once you have completed this first step, simply wait a few seconds for the desktop client and the Android/iOS app to sync your conversations and groups.

All the features you need

One of the most important parts of WhatsApp Desktop is that, as mentioned above, it offers the same features as the mobile version but on PC. This means you can continue any private conversation, send and receive photos, share audio, use GIFs, create group conversations, send links, etc. You'll notice virtually no difference between using the Windows and Android or iOS clients.

The difference between client and web version

You won't find many differences between the browser version (the so-called WhatsApp Web) and this Windows client since both have the same interface and login system. The differentiating element is that this version, the client, works independently, so you don't need to have a browser open. This can be particularly useful on computers with low RAM, which tend to slow down when many tabs are open. Moreover, WhatsApp Desktop consumes very few resources under normal conditions.

Privacy management

Many WhatsApp Desktop users are unaware of the numerous privacy-related options. From the Settings menu, you can choose who you want to see your last seen time or if you want other users to know when you are online. You can also decide who can see your profile pictures and statuses and even lock your user session by setting a special password.

Sending and receiving WhatsApp messages from your PC

Download WhatsApp Desktop if you're a regular WhatsApp user. Thanks to this app, you can easily keep talking to your friends, even sitting in front of your PC without your smartphone. Here, you'll find all the features you need to chat normally on WhatsApp.

Requirements (Latest version)

  • Requires Windows 8 or higher.
