WhatsApp Desktop App for Windows PC: Download, Install and Features

WhatsApp is one of the most popular free messaging services and has already being run by more than a billion users worldwide. While there is already a web version of WhatsApp available, for Edge as well as other browsers, the company has recently launched a desktop app too. The fresh WhatsApp desktop app is almost similar to what we know as WhatApp Web.

To use the all fresh app from WhatsApp, you very first need to download and install it on your Windows ten PC. It is a very ordinary app and required no technical expertise to install.

WhatsApp Desktop App for Windows PC

Go to the official website of WhatsApp and download the app. Make sure you download the app compatible with your PC. The desktop app is available for both Windows and Mac users. It will take a few minutes to land on your PC depending on your internet connection speed.

Run the setup and install it on your PC. To run the WhatsApp desktop app, you very first need to scan the QR code using your Smartphone. Open WhatsApp on your phone–>Menu--> select WhatsApp web. Take your phone to your PC screen and scan the QR code to connect.

Once the QR code is scanned, you will be logged into your WhatsApp desktop app. It is just like the app on your Smartphone with very similar features, interface, and look. You can send messages, pictures, movies, create groups, switch your profiles photo or status and do anything you do on your Smartphone.

Switch Profile Photo and Status on WhatsApp Desktop App

You can switch your profile photo and status in three ways. Either you click on your profile photo and or click on tab “WhatsApp” and select “Profile and Status” or you can go through the Menu (the three dots).

Click on your picture to switch or eliminate it and click on the Pencil icon to update your status. If you want to click a fresh photo with your webcam and set it as your profile photo, select Take Photo from the drop-down menu or select Upload Photo, if you want to upload a picture from your PC. You can also just View or Eliminate the photo.

You can also use the shortcut Ctrl+P to open profile and status.

Commence a fresh Talk/Make a fresh group

As we mentioned earlier, the WhatsApp desktop app is same as the app in your Smartphone; you can lightly embark a fresh talk or create a fresh group over here. Click on the “WhatsApp” tab and select Fresh Talk/ Fresh Group or Click on the Menu and select Fresh Group. You can also click on the ‘+’ sign to commence a fresh talk.

You can also use shortcut Ctrl+N for a fresh talk.

Please note that in your Smartphone you can search for a particular talk in your talk box, whereas the desktop app is missing this feature. Also you cannot switch the wallpaper or email your talk from the desktop app, but your Smartphone app has this feature.
