Just like with WhatsApp Web, you must keep your mobile device connected to the internet to use WhatsApp on your computer.

Download the version that corresponds with your operating system.Perhaps the biggest limitation is that WhatsApp currently doesn’t allow users to make audio and video calls from desktop operating systems. It was launched in May of 2016, and it offers much of the same functionality as the mobile client, with a few notable exceptions.

The desktop client runs on Windows 8 or higher and macOS x 10.9 or higher. Besides the official web-based client, WhatsApp now also has an official desktop client for macOS and Windows computers.
