Facebook-owned Whatsapp has been one of the most popular messengers lately and is available for all major operating systems, including Windows 11/10, macOS, iOS, and android. Whatsapp gives you an option to use it on your desktop along with your mobile.
The latest version of WhatsApp does not require your phone to be connected to the internet. It means you don’t need to connect your phone to the internet to send or receive messages on your Whatsapp Desktop.
Now, if you’re facing issues opening Whatsapp Desktop on your computer, you may want to reset it. However, it might erase all data once you do that. And then, you will have to sign in to this application again to gain access.
