First things first: What you need to know about using WhatsApp on PC
Closing in on two billion monthly active users, WhatsApp is more popular than ever. While the app helps us stay connected, it also takes up a lot of time from our day, cultivating the Pavlovian conditioning of checking our smartphones whenever we get a new message. Luckily, you can now use WhatsApp on your PC, which can be a time-saver, especially if you spend hours in front of a computer.
The official WhatsApp app for Android
Both WhatsApp Web and WhatsApp Desktop use your smartphone to route messages, so the mobile version needs to be active in order for them to work. That means your smartphone needs to have WhatsApp installed and plenty of battery. It also requires a stable internet connection, either on WiFi or with a good data plan to avoid extra charges, because all messages sent and received are synced on the devices connected to your account.
One thing to keep in mind is that, although both versions are excellent, they can't fully replace the mobile version, which still offers important extra features, like audio and video calls.
TIP: You can use WhatsApp Web and WhatsApp Desktop to log in on multiple devices. However, only one instance of the app can be used at one time, on top of the classic mobile version.
How to use WhatsApp Web from your browser
If you spend a lot of time browsing the internet, having WhatsApp open in your browser can save you tons of time. WhatsApp Web is the official web-based client for the app and the easiest way to use WhatsApp on PC. You can use it with the five most popular browsers out there: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Safari, and Microsoft Edge. Open your browser - in our case, Google Chrome - and access WhatsApp Web.

The page displays a QR code. To pair WhatsApp Web with your Android smartphone, you need to scan the code. Start by opening WhatsApp on your smartphone. A surefire way to access it is from the All apps screen.
Tap on WhatsApp to open it
In the Chats section, tap the More options button from the upper right corner. Its icon looks like three vertical dots.
Tap on More options
Tap on WhatsApp Web in the menu that opens.

How to use the WhatsApp Desktop app on Windows 10
You can also use WhatsApp on your PC through its official standalone Windows 10 desktop client: WhatsApp Desktop. Access the WhatsApp Download page, which automatically detects your operating system and suggests the compatible version. Download and install WhatsApp Desktop on your Windows 10 computer or device.
It's easy to get WhatsApp Desktop from its official download page
You can also get WhatsApp Desktop from the Microsoft Store. Once the app is installed, search for "whatsapp" in your taskbar's search field and click or tap on WhatsApp Desktop or on WhatsApp.

Bonus: Stop using WhatsApp on PC
If you're using multiple browsers and/or devices, you might want to access your WhatsApp account on all of them. By default, the option to remember your account is enabled in both the web and the desktop WhatsApp clients.
If you plan to use WhatsApp shortly on a PC, disable the "Keep me signed in" option, which is displayed under the QR code.
Uncheck Keep me signed in before scanning the QR code
If you forgot to uncheck that section, you can logout from WhatsApp Web and WhatsApp Desktop by using the Menu button shown by both clients. It looks like three horizontal dots.
Tap the Menu icon
Click or tap on Log out, and that browser or app no longer remembers your WhatsApp account.
Choose Log out to disconnect your WhatsApp account
But what if you used a public computer and you realize you forgot to log out of your WhatsApp account. The thought alone of someone else seeing your messages kinda fills you with dread, doesn't it? Don't worry, WhatsApp has you covered, and it gives you the option to logout from clients and devices directly from your mobile app. Open WhatsApp on your Android smartphone, go to the Chats tab, and tap the More options button from the upper right corner.
Tap on More options in WhatsApp for Android
Access WhatsApp Web from the menu that opens.

Tap on the "Log out from all devices" option at the bottom to instantly disconnect WhatsApp on all clients and only keep it active on your Android smartphone.

Which Whatsapp client do you plan to use?
Not only is it distracting to take out your Android smartphone for every alert, but, for some of us, it is infinitely faster to write messages on a physical keyboard instead of a touchscreen. After learning that we can use WhatsApp on our PC, it became a constant addition to our desktop web browser. What about you? Do you plan to use WhatsApp in the browser or the desktop client?
