Using WhatsApp on Mac: How it works

WhatsApp is one of the most popular messenger services in the world. As such, it lets you choose whether you want to chat exclusively on your mobile device or also on your computer with a real keyboard. If you own a Mac, then you can use the app on it as well.

It's much more convenient to chat on a Mac than on a mobile device.

How to install WhatsApp on Mac

As pleasant as chatting on an iPhone is, it's even better on a real computer (MacBook or iMac). You have the option of using WhatsApp directly in the browser via WhatsApp Web or downloading and installing the application's client. This is available for both Windows and Mac OS X.

1. Visit this WhatsApp page.
2. There you will see the green download button for the Windows version. Below it, click on the download link for Mac OS X 10.10 and newer.
3. You will receive the installation file as a DMG file, as usual.
4. Click on the file after the download is complete.
5. Confirm the prompt to move the application to the Applications folder. Follow all instructions to install the program.

The high user-friendliness of Apple's operating system makes itself felt again positively, because immediately after that the app is ready to start. For the link with your WhatsApp account, you only need to match the QR code to the screen and smartphone, then you have access to all your contacts and can chat with them.
