How To Use Whatsapp On PC & Download WhatsApp Contacts
One of the most asked questions since WhatsApp got launched is the ability for users to use the app on PC.
There could be many reasons why people want this, for me especially, its just to make sure i keep connected with friends and family while working. Picking up my phone just to reply one message is a bit too tasking and distracting. that why i always preferred Skype when am in the office.
But one good thing about whatsapp as a company is that she doesn’t turn deaf hears.
You can now connect with your WhatsApp contact directly on your Mac or windows PC using an official WhatsApp messenger without going through any tricks or downloading any app. All you need is just to have the latest version of Whatsapp app working on your mobile phone.
In this post today, I will be showing you how to use Whatsapp on PC and also how to easily download the list of all your WhatsApp contacts to your desktop.

- On the page, you will see a QR Code which you will need to scan.
- Once you are on the page, Now pick your mobile phone , then scan the QR code with the whatsapp QR Scanner, To do this follow the steps below:
