Newsonline understands that Whatsapp Web syncs with the mobile app to let you send and receive WhatsApp messages from your computer. You can access WhatsApp on your phone and computer at the same time.
Recall that over three billion users of Facebook-owned apps and products (WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook) worldwide were on Monday thrown off balance and unable to log into the social media platforms.
The platforms were, however, restored around 11 pm on Monday. Checks by Newsonline Nigeria revealed some upgrades were done on WhatsApp, one of which is how to make use of WhatsApp on a desktop without keeping your phone online.
After your phone is linked to your computer, you can choose to put off the mobile data on your phone while the WhatsApp on your computer will continue working without data. You can connect up to four devices and one phone at once.
