How do I use WhatsApp in my internet browser?
WhatsApp Web can be used with any web browser. However, in order to use the service, you need an account on the platform on your mobile phone. This is exactly the same as the desktop version of the app.
The app works in any web browser. To use them, you need to go to web.whatsapp.com in your browser. You will then be prompted to use your mobile phone to activate the web version.
You can do this by opening the WhatsApp application on your smartphone. Then you must select “Menu” or “Settings” and then “WhatsApp Web”. Once this has been selected, you will be prompted to point your phone at the browser.
Once this is done, your phone will authorize your web browser on the computer you are using. This authorization should be available on your computer and in the browser until you delete the browsing history.
Here are the steps you need to follow:
Go to web.whatsapp.com in your browser. Open the WhatsApp app on your iPhone or Android phone. Go to Settings in the app and click on WhatsApp Web or Desktop. Scan the QR code in the browser with your smartphone. Start using WhatApps in your web browser. How can I stop using WhatsApp on the Internet browser?
If you are no longer using the web version of WhatsApp and no longer wish to use it in a browser, all you need to do is completely clear the web browser history to prevent use of your account.
This is useful if the web app was used on a shared computer or a device that someone else might have access to.
It’s important to keep your WhatsApp account safe, especially if you’re using it on a public or shared computer. In such cases, it is recommended to completely clear browsing history once you stop using WhatsApp. This prevents someone else who later uses the same browser from accessing your account.
To delete your browsing history, you can select the option to delete browsing data in your browser settings. Make sure you also select the option to clear cookies and other website data to ensure your WhatsApp credentials are removed as well.
