You can use WhatsApp on a PC! But you still need the phone

By

In this post, I'll walk you through the process of using WhatsApp on a PC. Like the title says, we'll still need our mobile devices.

N.B:
You can run WhatsApp on a PC with no need for your phone, but that comes with a price to pay.
You can download and install an emulator on your PC, install WhatsApp and do all the crazy stuff. We're not gonna get into that now.

We can do this in two ways, either through the browser or via an app. Okay, we're gonna hit two birds with one stone and let's get to that.

Using the app.
We’ll get one from WhatsApp official site. Here is the link but a simple search will get you there also.
N.B The installation process might take time, and you might need to agree to some terms, make sure you do that.

Using the Web browser.
We’ll have to visit web.whatsapp.com.


And it's that point that we need our phone. Either using the browser or app (The process is the same, at-leat for now)

We open WhatsApp on our devices and tap on menu icons, and select WhatsApp Web and scan the code on a PC with our smartphone's camera. And walla all our chats are cloned to the PC.


For WhatsApp on PC to remain functional, your phone should be connected to the internet.

Closing remarks

 Both the browser and the app function and looks similar, but I like the app because you can set it up so it opens when the PC starts up otherwise the experience is groovy either way.

Windows Apps that will change the way you browse through your computer

By
Even though smartphones are walking their way up the ladder, PCs are a piece of tech that don't seem to die anyway. Editing photos, videos, music and doing more intensive tasks always find their way to bring us back to PCs. So, PCs still have their place in our life. Then following are Windows apps that will change the way you browse through your computer. 1. Films & TV Films & TV is a basic video app from Microsoft. With this you'll be able to create a nice looking collection by adding folders to an app, also those folders can be removed if need be. Picture-in-picture improves more on multitasking. Android Oreo, Apple TV are a few of those who brought picture-in-picture to consumers and Microsoft has officially caught up. This feature is useful to people who like to simultaneously watch videos while doing something different. It’s only for those on Windows 10 to try it out though, ouch! 2.
