User reviews

The extension provides a lightweight and free way to access WhatsApp Web from Chrome, enabling users to send and receive messages and documents on PC. However, it requires the WhatsApp Web tab to be open to work properly, which users find inconvenient. Several users report notification issues, such as unread messages persisting after being read. The extension sometimes fails to load or connect, needing repeated QR code scans. Additionally, it lacks support for calls and audio functions, and recent WhatsApp Web updates have disrupted its functionality.

WHY AFTER I UPDATED, WHATSAPP WEB BECAME INCORRECT . EXAMPLE, IT'S LIKE I'VE READ THE MESSAGE BUT THE NOTIFICATION STILL EXISTS AS IF I DIDN'T OPEN THE MESSAGE. WHYYYYY???

Does not work at all even though it is synced to my account. All is does is launch the WhatsApp web version (no different than a bookmark). Deleted.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Notifier for WhatsApp Web requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
