WhatsApp Web Begins Rolling Out on iPhone

Wednesday August 19, 2015 8:15 AM PDT by Joe Rossignol

WhatsApp has updated its website with instructions on how to access WhatsApp Web on iPhone, and the new settings appear to be rolling out for some users now. To access WhatsApp Web from iPhone, open the app, tap on Settings and a WhatsApp Web menu option should appear once live.

WhatsApp Web connects to your iPhone to sync messages with your computer, allowing you to send and receive messages from your web browser and view conversations on both devices. The service is also available for Android, BlackBerry, Windows Phone and select Nokia smartphones.

WhatsApp Messenger [Direct Link] is free on the App Store for iPhone.

People need to switch to Telegram. WhatsApp is clunky garbage. Telegram has the most wonderful chatting experience I've ever seen in my entire life and I've been in this business for a long time.

REAL clients for all your platforms. None of this proxying through your phone bulls**t. And the group chats work really well.

Dump WhatsApp and tell your friends to do it too. Also, Facebook owns WhatsApp, it's only a matter of time before they kill it anyway and roll it into FB Messenger.

Tried Telegram, it is better but deleted since no one I know uses it.

That would be nice. Maybe we will see one with WatchOS2, since it'll probably need to be a native app. Though with the fact it took them a year to do the voice calling, after they announced it, I don't hold my breath....

They are the slowest devs ever - whatever is released in September in the newest iOS you're lucky to see implemented in Whatsapp by Dec/Jan.

Finally - I hate Whatsapp but nearly everyone is on it, especially none iPhone fools...I mean friends. So this will make it easier not to miss their messages.

this thread proves people are likely being paid to promote Telegram. no sane person shows hate for a product and love for another in the same post. Also if you notice it comes down to since facebook bought them. did facebook eat your lunch?
