WhatsApp Web For Android Users Goes Live - v2.11.498 Required

WhatsApp Web Goes Live For Android Users
(BlackBerry And Windows Phone Too, But Not iOS)​

The web service has been officially announced on WhatsApp's blog. It relies on the mobile WhatsApp application as the authenticator through a QR code authorization. The process seems to require mirroring messages from the mobile app to the web, even when the app is running in the background, and Apple's platform has a limitation somewhere along the way.

HOW TO USE IT?

• You need the latest version of the app from the Play Store, v 2.11.498 (If you don't find the update in your "MyApps" in Android PlayStore, try finding it manually. It showed me "Update" button there --- If it doesn't appear there and you're running this version, try force closing the app and restarting it ).
• Head over to web.whatsapp.com on your computer's browser.
• A QR code will be generated for you to scan with the phone (Once this authentication is complete, you're in)

very smart idea of using QR code feature (no manually code entering)

Forces me to go back to Chrome like the Hangout app. No thanks!

 

[Deamonillidan]

Using it today... Looks pretty nice!

I get it that its currently in very early stage, but i hate the fact that it needs constant internet access on our phone.

So basically the web version isn't 'standalone' but an 'extension' to the mobile app. This isn't a very good idea if you ask me.

"Chromium" requirement would be closer. Because its working fine on the Opera Beta v27.

It's useless until they make it work like Viber's desktop extension.

I don't want to use Chrome, because almost all addons like ABP are nerfed there. Waterfox FTW!

What issues? It works perfectly fine.

Make a dedicated desktop app or GTFO. This implementation is useless, even if you're an Android user.

It allows me to reply to whatsapp messages from my PC without having to type anything on my phone, or to even pick it up. Works very well.

Maybe the real reason you hate it is because..

They should make a dedicated app just like Telegram and viber have for Windows users.
