WhatsApp for the web has over a billion users; making it the most widely used instant messaging service on the planet.
You can now link your computer's browser to your smartphone app WhatsApp and message directly from your online browser, just like you would from your phone, using WhatsApp for the web.
This allows you to type considerably faster from your keyboard, as well as use WhatsApp on your computer without having to install additional software, or from any public computer (like a school or public library) when program installation is not possible.
WhatsApp for Windows and WhatsApp for Mac desktop apps have just been released, and now you can download and install them on your desktop or laptop.
