Connecting WhatsApp to your PC can make chatting easier when you’re working or want to type on a full keyboard. This feature is called WhatsApp Web or WhatsApp Desktop, and it links your mobile WhatsApp account to a computer so you can send and receive messages directly from your PC. Here’s how to connect WhatsApp to PC.
- Make Sure You Have WhatsApp on Your Phone
Before you begin, check that WhatsApp is installed and working on your smartphone.
- Open WhatsApp on your phone and ensure you’re connected to the internet.
- Update the app if necessary to the latest version for smooth compatibility.
- Open WhatsApp Web or Install WhatsApp Desktop
On your PC, you have two main options:
- WhatsApp Web: Go to your internet browser and visit web.whatsapp.com.
- WhatsApp Desktop App: Download the desktop app from the official WhatsApp website and install it.
Both options will show a QR code on your computer screen.
- Link Your Phone to Your PC Using the QR Code
On your phone:
- Open WhatsApp.
- Tap the three dots (menu) in the top-right corner (Android) or go to Settings (iPhone).
- Select Linked Devices.

Your phone’s camera will open. Point it at the QR code on your computer screen to scan it.
- Wait for the Connection to Complete
After scanning, WhatsApp will link your account to your PC.
