What is WhatsApp Web?
WhatsApp Web is what it sounds like: a web portal that lets you mirror your phone's WhatsApp experience on a desktop browser like Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera or anything else you like. In order to keep WhatsApp secure and private, WhatsApp Web is not a separate instance of WhatsApp that lives independently from your phone. Instead, it relies on your phone's connection to WhatsApp to generate an initial instance and then, by taking a photo of a unique QR code to authenticate, it brings that exact experience to the web. Once you log off from WhatsApp on your phone, the connection on the web is severed.
