Launch WhatsApp Desktop, scan the QR code it displays with your mobile (Settings > WhatsApp Web menu), and the program will automatically sync your contacts and settings.Ī few seconds later your current chats are displayed, and you're able to carry on the conversations as usual. This does at least make setup very easy, because there's almost nothing to do. You can't install the program just on a couple of PCs, for instance- it's purely an extension of your mobile app, a native version of WhatsApp Web. The desktop edition isn't designed to be used separately.



It works straight out of the box, effortlessly and without having to install any additional software (such as Bluestacks). Another (simpler) alternative is to install Chrome Browser for MAC and then use the new Whatsapp Web online service which has been released recently. This emulator is called “ Bluestacks” and is available at or, for the specific MAC version, can be downloaded from this page.Īfter downloading and installing it you’ll need to verify your phone number and complete the activation process for Whatsappas exactly as you would do on your iPhone or Smartphone.

But because Whatsapp cannot be installed directly on your Mac, you will need to download a specific software that enables an Android emulator on MAC (yes, I know it sounds weird installing Android on a MAC !). To install Whatsapp on a Macbook Air, or Macbook Pro, the (minimum) system requirement to be met is: intel osx 10.6 or later.
