WhatsApp has endeared millions of people around the world. Unfortunately, so far, it was limited to mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. With the release of Desktop Apps for windows and Mac however, desktop users have reason to smile. Not only is WhatsApp free to use but now with the WhatsApp desktop application, even desktop users can be part of the WhatsApp crowd! In order to use the app on your desktop; the first time that you try to login to WhatsApp you will be prompted to scan a code from your mobile phone WhatsApp. In order to scan the code, you will simply have to go to the menu option in WhatsApp and tap on WhatsApp Web. Once you are there, you will be able to scan the QR code on your computer.

Technically, there are no new features to look forward to with the WhatsApp desktop application. This is because it does work much like WhatsApp web. With the app present, you will be able to do things such as managing your message history, recording voice messages, sending messages and pictures as well as attachments. Compared to the phone version however, you might notice a few missing features however generally speaking you will be able to enjoy much the same experience.
