WhatsApp Web for iPhone, definitive guide

Whatsapp Web for iPhone

Today we allow ourselves the luxury of giving a hand to all those who still do not know WhatsApp Web, the multiplatform WhatsApp client that uses our browser to always keep us connected with our contacts through the most used instant messaging client, since as we announced yesterday , WhatsApp already reaches the figure of 900 million active users. What better way to celebrate than by helping you stay more connected if possible?, do not miss this guide in which we will tell you the ins and outs of WhatsApp Web, we will solve your doubts and we will also help you get the most out of this WhatsApp function.

What is WhatsApp Web?

It depends on who you ask can answer that it is a botch, or the new method that WhatsApp has been taken out of the hat to allow us to use WhatsApp also from our PC or tablet. The result is a WhatsApp client synchronized with our device through the web browser and that allows us to chat with our contacts using the mobile device as a server. For this it is necessary that our device is fully available, since unlike Telegram, WhatsApp Web does not use a cloud connection to synchronize data, but the server will be our device.

This last detail is the one that has caused the most controversy, in fact it is the reason that the version of WhatsApp Web for iOS was delayed.

Download WhatsApp Web

WhatsApp Web is not "downloadable", that is, we are going to keep this possibility in quotation marks, since WhatsApp Web is a function based on the web browser, to use WhatsApp Web we simply have to enter the address "https://web.whatsapp.com" where it will be shown the customer and the instructions we must follow to take advantage of this feature. So, if you use PC or Linux flee from possible WhatsApp programs and clients their own, since most of them are nothing more than viruses and malware that only intend to take advantage of your innocence to rob you.

However, on Mac OS X we have the ability to download a separate WhatsApp Web client, called ChitChat or WhatsMac, its own application, which will allow us to do without the browser to use WhatsApp Web, facilitating the procedure and giving us the freedom that it gives us, then we will talk about it.

ChitChat, the WhatsApp Web application for Mac OS

WhatsMac or ChitChat

This application is totally free, easy to use and it has a support behind that gives you constant updates. I have used this application since its inception and it shows good results, allowing us to save the battery that the open browser consumes to use WhatsApp Web, as well as the possibilities of a standalone client, such as the Telegram application for Mac OS X.

En this article We talked in depth about ChitChat, and you can find the download links for get the most out of WhatsApp Web from your Mac, faster and more comfortable impossible.

How to use WhatsApp Web

WhatsApp Web QR Code

The procedure is quite simple, but we are still going to explain it as briefly as possible, for those who still have any kind of doubt, this step-by-step guide will allow you connect the WhatsApp of your iPhone with WhatsApp Web so you can get all the performance from your keyboard, increasing your productivity and comfort.

  1. We activate WhatsApp Web, for this we go to the WhatsApp application on our iPhone, and in Settings (bottom right) WhatsApp Web will appear easily visible.
  2. We enter that settings section and click on «scan QR code»After activating the switch.
  3. Now we go to the website «https://web.whatsapp.com»Where the QR code will appear, for those who are going to use ChitChat (WhatsMac) they will also see the corresponding QR code.
  4. We scan the QR code that is shown to us and it will automatically synchronize our iPhone with WhatsApp Web.

Is WhatsApp Web safe?

Whatsapp Web Security

We still do not have detailed information about it, without a doubt in the first period of its launch there were quite a few security problems that allowed, for example, access to the photographs of the conversations, however, it is as safe as any other similar methodToday we cannot find any messaging method that is considered totally secure, and we have no choice but to resign ourselves. However, this should not prevent you from using it, always in the usual security environment in which you must use any type of software.

Do you use a lot of battery?

battery

It really entails a higher battery consumption than that emanating from Telegram for example, since it does not use a synchronization in the cloud, but our iPhone is the server itself. However, do not expect a consumption similar to what you can do when you normally use WhatsApp from your iPhone. It is true that consumption is large, but not because it is literally so, but because it should be much less, but the guys at WhatsApp have decided to use this peculiar method to convert WhatsApp into a multiplatform and we have no choice but to resign ourselves.

    And here we have a guide of what NOT to do when creating an application, since WhatsApp Web is the biggest bot there can be. (but congratulations on the writing)
    Telegram is totally safe at least with its clear Secret Chat feature.
    I encourage you to do the same (a guide) but with Telegram that you will surely get more out of it and thus a little more publicity so that you can open your eyes more.

    Regards!

      @Marc I think that even if I advertise Telegram, myoria will be more on whats, why? Well, easy for the publicity and what it has done in question that in any company that you recharge so much balance or have a plan, they give you unlimited whsta, facebook, twitter. Of course, these 3 applications have a lot of data consumption because they all have it for free, if I already know that Telegram if you have it on your PC it will not waste battery or data.
      All my users have whsta, they are like everyone I tell them that telegram and just not, 😀 well….
