Free Desktop Client Software for WhatsApp Messenger

WhatsApp Desktop is a desktop client for the WhatsApp messaging service, allowing users to sync their chats, contacts and other information to their computer for maximum convenience. From there, users can engage in conversations via their desktop. To protect accounts, access is only possible by scanning a QR code using a mobile phone with a camera. While this is excellent for account security, it does mean that the desktop client can only be used when a working phone is nearby. Moreover, the software does not currently support video or audio calling. Nevertheless, individual video and audio files can be sent freely and all other WhatsApp Web functions are supported.
