Using WhatsApp on desktop may soon be possible

14:29

WhatsApp Mobile


Many of us would have tried a many of times to search over the web the possible ways to use WhatsApp on our desktop, but got no other way than to use a third party software like Bluestacks or some other to run WhatsApp on our desktop.
But now it seems that you would no longer require a third party software to run WhatsApp on your desktop in future as it looks like WhatsApp might be bringing its messaging service to the web.
The rumors aired up shortly after Pavel Durov, the co-founder of rival messaging app Telegram, told TechCrunch that he thought WhatsApp was working on a web version “since they tried to hire our web dev.”
Even though WhatsApp is yet to make any official announcement on the web version of its popular messaging app which currently supports only mobile platforms, a recent discovery by the team at AndroidWorld.nl appears to back up Durov’s suspicions.
In a recent WhatsApp update, there is a mention of “WhatsApp web” hidden inside its code. In addition to this explicit mention of “WhatsApp Web” in the code, it also mentions logging in to a web service as well as references to tracking statuses online.

With over 600 million of users, WhatsApp is the largest messaging service and the only messaging service that still does not offer a web version of its services; but if we look at the rival apps like Line, Viber, Telegram and WeChat, all allow their user to message either on their phone or via the web. But we still can’t say that it is a definite proof of a WhatsApp web version to come, but it certainly looks like the WhatsApp team is at least exploring some sort of web functionality.

Please share if you want your friends to know this!!! Thank you and hope to see you again!!!

  1. Being the worlds most popular messaging app, I think it's about time Whatsapp expanded to desktop. It will allow people to have greater accessibility to the service.http://fusionofideas.com/index.html
