Good news for those of us with cramped fingers and thumbs from typing on our iPhone screens. WhatsApp is now available online for iPhone users, something that was in the past only available to Android users.

Here’s the good news straight from the horses mouth:

To provide you with a richer communication experience, WhatsApp is now accessible both on your phone and your computer. WhatsApp Web is a computer based extension of the WhatsApp account on your phone. The messages you send and receive are fully synced between your phone and your computer, and you can see all messages on both devices. Any action you take on the phone will apply to WhatsApp Web and vice versa. At this time, WhatsApp Web is available only for Android, iPhone 8.1+, Windows Phone 8.0 and 8.1, Nokia S60, Nokia S40 EVO, BlackBerry and BlackBerry 10 smartphones.

WhatsApp Web is not another WhatsApp account. When you use WhatsApp on your computer and your phone, you are simply accessing the same account on these two devices.

Minimum requirements to enjoy WhatsApp Web

  • You need to have an active WhatsApp account on your phone.

  • You need to have a stable internet connection on both your phone and your computer.

  • You need to use the latest version of Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari or Edge as your web browser on your computer.
