WhatsApp is a great alternative to iMessage, except in one regard: iMessage lets you send messages from your Mac. That means if you hate tapping in text messages on a touchscreen, you can use your keyboard instead.
But that’s changed. The long-awaited ability to use WhatsApp on your Mac has finally arrived. But the WhatsApp desktop client is a Web app that allows users to communicate with their contacts right through the desktop. Technically, it works on more than just the desktop: It also runs on Android and Windows devices, although curiously not iOS.
What we’re interested in, though, is the Mac support. — the WhatsApp team hints such support may be coming soon — but it does work on the latest versions of Chrome.
Once you load up the WhatsApp Web client by visiting web.whatsapp.com in Chrome, it’s easy to set up … if you have an Android, BlackBerry or Windows phone, that is. Just load up the app on your smartphone, scan the QR code and voila: WhatsApp in your desktop browser.
