WhatsApp for Desktop now Available: Here's Where to Download and How To Setup

WhatsApp Desktop has been rumored for a while and today it’s been officially released. This is a desktop version of the ubiquitous messaging app and works on both Windows 8+ and Mac OS 10.9+.

You can easily download the app from https://www.whatsapp.com/download

There is no waiting process or beta testing phase you can just head over to the link above and download the WhatsApp for PC/Mac application. The setup process is same as WhatsApp Web which runs on a web-browser. The Desktop WhatsApp application has all the same features as its mobile counterpart except voice-calling.

The setup process is also very easy:

Install apps on both mobile (if you haven’t got it already) and your PC
Select WhatsApp Web from Menu
Your phone will go into a QR scanner Mode
Open the Desktop App
Scan the QR code on your PC/Mac with your phone
Syncing will begin immediately and you are all set.

WhatsApp on your Desktop will work as long as the phone is connected to internet and keeps receiving messages. I will be using this future for some days before coming out with a review of the app, so do stay tuned for that.
