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)

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.

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

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    "These changes are not a reflection of the creativity and skill of the talented individuals at these teams or the risks they took to try new things" ... seems to me that's exactly what it is

    They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.

    So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
