Whatsapp Messenger for your PC, laptop or tablet...

Whatsapp Messenger is now accessible via your PC or Mac.  This adds the ability to send more images, words etc to your contacts that aren't available on your mobile device.

To make it happen, follow these steps:


  1. Update Whatsapp to the latest version on your mobile device.
  2. Go to https://web.whatsapp.com/.  The page should display a QR code.
  3. Open whatsapp on your mobile and select 'Whatsapp Web' (see image below) and scan the QR code on your PC.   You don't need any other scanning software to do this - it's done within the Whatsapp interface on your mobile.

  1. Do the same for other devices - eg your tablet, laptop etc...
...and you're away.

Now you can send files that aren't stored on your mobile for free via your internet connection.

Why use Whatsapp?  it allows you to contact any mobile phone number anywhere (here or abroad - providing there's a data connection) and you can send messages as free texts or you can send attachments.  If you have an unlimited data plan - there's no need to change anything.  However, if you have a limited data plan or access your data while 'roaming' it's best to restrict the app to 'Wi-Fi' connection only.

It's free to use for year 1 and then costs $0.99 per annum (currently).  You can download it here.
