Two days ago Facebook announced the arrival from the Beta version of WhatsApp Desktop to Windows and macOS, thus matching the options that the platform now offers on mobile devices. And waiting for the multi-device support, which should arrive shortly, this is what to do to install WhatsApp Desktop on the PC.
The application can be installed on any computer you have Windows installed, either Windows 8, Windows 10, or Windows 11, the version on which we have made the tutorial. We will only have to have a Windows computer nearby, already mentioned, and an Android phone or an iPhone to complete the process.
Install WhatsApp Desktop step by step
The first step is to download the version of WhatsApp for Windows from this link what will download a file with “.exe” format to our PC which is the one we are going to execute to start the installation.
When we click on it we will see how a screen appears in which it first warns us that our communications will be encrypted from end to end and then change to another screen in which invites us to scan a QR code from the mobile.
We will have to have an Android mobile or an iPhone with the WhatsApp application installed and an active account and access the “Settings” and in “Setting” to select “Linked Devices” and then click on “Pair new device”. The camera will open with which we will have to scan the QR code that we see on the computer screen.
Since then we will have WhatsApp web active and linked to our account so that we can use both the telephone and the computer to send and receive messages without having to use the web version.

Also, when downloading and using WhatsApp Desktop Beta we will be able to enjoy in advance new functions in tests before they can get to the final version.
(function () {window._JS_MODULES = window._JS_MODULES || {}; var headElement = document.getElementsByTagName (‘head’)[0]; if (_JS_MODULES.instagram) {var instagramScript = document.createElement (‘script’); instagramScript.src = “https://platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js”; instagramScript.async = true; instagramScript.defer = true; headElement.appendChild (instagramScript); }}) ();
