WhatsApp Web/Desktop: Your Second Screen
WhatsApp Web and Desktop provide a convenient way to access your WhatsApp account on a computer or laptop, acting as a second screen for your messages.
Accessing WhatsApp Web from your phone
First, open WhatsApp on your phone. Go to the three dots (‘More options’) in the top right corner and tap “Linked devices.” Then, navigate to “Link a device,” point your phone’s camera at your computer screen’s display showing the QR code to scan.
Your phone and computer must maintain a continuous internet connection for this linked access to work successfully. You can also usually customize notification settings on WhatsApp Web for better control of alerts.
Using WhatsApp Web on your computer
Make sure your computer meets WhatsApp’s minimum system requirements. This will vary depending on whether you are using the web version or the installable app. Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari are generally compatible, and the performance advantages a separate app brings you, on a computer, make up for the minimal extra work to install it compared to access via a browser.
WhatsApp Web offers ease of typing longer messages than while phone texting and improves efficiency.
Troubleshooting common issues on WhatsApp Web/Desktop
- Connection Problems: Ensure continuous internet availability on both your phone and your computer. Restarting both devices often helps if it persists.
- Notification Delays: Check computer’s and phones notification permissions for WhatsApp.
- Account Security: Always logout of WhatsApp Web when finished for greater secure and exit from an inactive instance.
WhatsApp Business App: Separate Work and Personal Life
WhatsApp Business provides an elegant solution for separating your personal and professional communications.
Setting up a WhatsApp Business account

- Labels and organization: Create useful labels (‘orders’, ‘queries,,’payment’ etc.) to effectively organise chats.
Distinguishing between personal and business communications
With the separation created by setting up an separate account for solely business messages the line between your personal WhatsApp profile which contains your contacts, personal and general messages, communications of personal nature and other various needs/instances to contact, and you would easily be able to distinguish between those and strictly business calls through an added Whatsapp business account.
