WhatsApp is a service that emerged after the widespread use of messaging applications. Currently, it has become a reference among customers, that is, the people who use it. From the beginning, WhatsApp has been available on mobile devices and can also be used on tablets with SIM card support by linking to a number.
One of the many possibilities offered by the application is its use in the browser. This option is valid if you need to carry out work while using WhatsApp in a browser tab, as if you were browsing the web. Using WhatsApp on a computer is especially comfortable, as typing tends to be faster with a keyboard, which may be preferable in some cases, such as for users accustomed to terminal keyboards.
In this tutorial, you will learn how to launch WhatsApp Web without the need for a QR code, which can be a useful alternative for those who don't want to scan the code, which can be a bit complicated for many people. This provides the advantage of not having to use the phone's camera, which can sometimes present problems. If this happens, you can replace this step with the solution presented in the tutorial.
The QR code
Access to the WhatsApp web application occurs almost instantly, simply by scanning the QR code available on the web.whatsapp.com page. After reading the code, you will be directed to follow a few steps to open the complete conversation window, containing texts, images, videos and other media.
To provide connection alternatives, WhatsApp has listened to users' complaints. Now, it is possible to use at least one or two additional options to access the service, in addition to the traditional home page method. These alternatives are equally simple, but do not require the use of your smartphone's camera.
Security is a priority on WhatsApp Web. When logging in, the application will request confirmation from your cell phone to ensure that it is really you accessing the platform. This measure is similar to the procedure adopted by Telegram when opening sessions on other devices, including computers. Therefore, any connection method you choose will be equally valid and secure for both you and anyone else using the platform.
It works?
At the moment, yes, the application uses pairing through recognition with the camera to start the session in question. It is crucial not to skip this step, as without it, you will not be able to access your account in a browser enabled for this function.
The only way to avoid this step is to keep the session open, without closing it on your mobile device or computer. However, it is important to remember that if there is inactivity for a long period of time, you will need to recharge it by scanning the QR code displayed on the WhatsApp web page.
There is a way to bypass the QR code, but it is necessary to emphasize that this practice is not recommended and is done at the user's own risk. Security is a crucial aspect to consider, and logging in without using the mentioned code could put your account at risk. Therefore, think carefully before making this decision.
Open session
One of the options for accessing WhatsApp is to link your account to your phone number. This alternative is available below, as soon as the QR code is displayed in the center of the screen. The choice of link is your preference, however, you must include the 9 digits of the telephone number and, if you choose another alternative method, you will need to add the corresponding prefix.
This form of access is definitive, eliminating the need to open the camera and focus on the QR code. Therefore, we are looking for this alternative instead of using the device's lens. To proceed with the configuration, you need to locate the option at the bottom of WhatsApp Web once the page is open.
It is important to note that it is not permitted to use a number that is not yours. If you do this and enter another number, the session on the device will only be opened if you allow it using the code that was dialed.
