Understanding WhatsApp Web and how it works

WhatsApp Web is a web-based extension of the WhatsApp mobile app. It allows users to mirror their WhatsApp conversations and activities on their computer screens. While this is incredibly useful for typing out lengthy messages and managing chats more efficiently, it falls short when it comes to certain features, including video or audio calling.

Previously, it was required to keep your phone connected to the internet to make sure the web or desktop version works correctly, now, it’s not necessary. Even if you’ve lost your phone or maybe reset it, WhatsApp Web or WhatsApp for the desktop will keep working.
