Whatsapp for the web reportedly in the works

A number of strings were found in the Android version of the app that point to a web-based Whatsapp. However, since Whatsapp doesn't use accounts, and is instead tied to a phone number, there is the issue of authentication. It appears that Whatsapp on the web may solve this with QR codes.</p> <!--break--> <p>From Android World (https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&amp;tl=en&amp;js=y&amp;prev=_t&amp;hl=en&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fandroidworld.nl%2Fapps%2Fwhatsapp-web%2F&amp;edit-text=&amp;act=url):</p>

<p>However, we found evidence that WhatsApp a QR code is used for the link. On the screen of the computer, in the browser, then a 2D barcode as below, can be seen. This QR code scanner was a long time present in the WhatsApp application but has recently expanded considerably.</p>

<p>Whatsapp themselves have remained quite on the possibility of a web client. The strings in the Android app pointing to a web version of Whatsapp have been removed from the latest version, and it appears that, while still possibly being developed, Whatsapp on the web is still a long way off.</p> <p>Source: Android World (https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&amp;tl=en&amp;js=y&amp;prev=_t&amp;hl=en&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fandroidworld.nl%2Fapps%2Fwhatsapp-web%2F&amp;edit-text=&amp;act=url)</p> </div></div></div><div id="comment-wrapper-nid-28938"></div><img width='1' height='1' src='http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/4176131b/sc/4/mf.gif' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
