Game Changer: You can use WhatsApp on your computer now

Hong Kong’s favourite form of communication will be taking up even more of your time now, with the launch of web browser version of the messaging app.

A little over a week ago the company quietly rolled out the new feature, but many Hongkongers still haven’t gotten whiff of this life-changing news.

So if you haven’t figured it out already, this is how you do it:
 

  1. Make sure your mobile app is updated
  2. Go to WhatsApp on your phone and select “WhatsApp Web” from the main menu
  3. Head over to http://web.whatsapp.com
  4. Scan the code with your phone
  5. Voilà!

Yay! Now you can use your computer to ignore those incessant notifications from that WhatsApp group you don’t actually want to be a part of but feel too awkward to leave!
