 3.Open WhatsApp on your smartphone

4.Click the ‘More Options’ button on the top right corner and click on ‘WhatsApp Web’

5.From this screen click on the ‘+’ sign on the top right corner to open the scanner                                      

 

6.Using this Scanner, scan the WhatsApp QR Code on your browser screen to complete the authentication process.

Now you will be able to view your chats on your computer as well. Note that you will need a stable internet connection on both your phone and computer for WhatsApp Web to work.
