WhatsApp is one of the most popular messaging apps in the world. It has over 2 billion users globally and is widely used to communicate with friends, family, and colleagues. Recently, WhatsApp released a web version of its messaging app, called WhatsApp Web, making it easier to communicate from your computer.

In this article, we’ll explore how to use WhatsApp Web and WhatsApp on your computer.

2. On your phone, open WhatsApp and go to “Settings”.

3. Tap “WhatsApp Web/Desktop”.

4. Point your phone’s camera at the QR code on your computer screen.

About Us

Since technology is not going anywhere and does more good than harm, adapting is the best course of action. That is where The Tech Edvocate comes in. We plan to cover the PreK-12 and Higher Education EdTech sectors and provide our readers with the latest news and opinion on the subject. From time to time, I will invite other voices to weigh in on important issues in EdTech. We hope to provide a well-rounded, multi-faceted look at the past, present, the future of EdTech in the US and internationally.

We started this journey back in June 2016, and we plan to continue it for many more years to come. I hope that you will join us in this discussion of the past, present and future of EdTech and lend your own insight to the issues that are discussed.
