Now You Can WhatsApp On Your Desktop Computer All Day Long

Oh good, another means to distract ourselves from doing anything work-related. Between pinning all the things and stalking people on Instagram, we thought we were doing ok. But now... trouble.

This doesn’t work on Mac’s so I see no point in it…

Oh, wait. You have a non-Mac? Cute.

FINE. I’ll explain then.

In a nutshell, you can now WhatsApp from your desktop whilst you sit and procrastinate at work. You can download it HERE, but be prepared to scan a QR code with your phone still.

This is necessary, presumably, because WhatsApp uses your phone number and SMS verifications rather than usernames/passwords. This currently works on Android, Windows Phone, and BlackBerry.

That’s fine. Leave out all the people using iPhones and Apple anything. We have iMessage anyway.
