Things to Remember

The second method of using WhatsApp on PC is simpler than the first method. But the reason I put this method into last is that it doesn’t work sometimes. The problem comes while verifying the WhatsApp account. But if you follow my steps correctly then, this will be super easy and convenient in accessing WhatsApp on PC.

Here are the steps to use WhatsApp on PC using WhatsApp Official software:

1. Visit WhatsApp.com using a Good Downloading Browser from your PC. You must have a Good downloading Browser for downloading the WhatsApp software in your PC. Because sometimes the WhatsApp software will not allow you to download on some browsers. Google Chrome and Opera Browser will work great for this process. You can also go with firefox and UC browser if you want.
2. Go to Download tab and Download WhatsApp for Windows. After entering to WhatsApp official site using a Good downloading browser, go to the download section of WhatsApp and download the Windows PC version of WhatsApp.
3. Install it like a normal software and open it up. After downloading the WhatsApp file to your PC, you need to install it. Just double click on the file, press “yes” and do next…next. After installing, the icon will get available at the Desktop as a shortcut. Just double tap on it and start the WhatsApp.
4. Go to WhatsApp on your Android, WhatsApp web and scan the code that is showing on WhatsApp software. After starting the WhatsApp software on Computer, go to Android WhatsApp>WhatsApp web>scan the barcode from the screen. Once the code gets recognized, it instantly gets connected to your Phone WhatsApp.

Now, you have done the steps, if you still didn’t get WhatsApp connection on Your PC means you have done something wrong.

Let me tell you the things that you have to remember while using this method and may knowing these important things can settle your WhatsApp connection on PC.

Things to Remember

• Make sure your PC has Internet access while scanning the Barcode. Most people disconnect the Internet connection while scanning the barcode of desktop WhatsApp. That leads to the error.
• Don’t clear the Cache of Desktop WhatsApp if you want to continuously use it in future. Clearing cache of Desktop WhatsApp can destroy the connection between your Phone and PC (If you use CCleaner on your PC then I highly recommend to Uncheckmark the “Clear Cache” option from Windows cleaning settings). Because If you clear the cache, you need to reconnect the WhatsApp in order to use WhatsApp on PC again.
• Update WhatsApp of Android before scanning the barcode. I understand you don’t like to update installed apps manually, I also don’t! But in order to have a healthier connection between your PC and Android, you need to update WhatsApp daily (You can also enable auto apps Update from Google Play Store Settings, doing this will erase your work of daily WhatsApp updating).

If you follow my steps along with knowing these things will make you able to Use WhatsApp on PC.
