WhatsApp is a widely used messaging application globally, including in Indonesia. This Meta-owned application isn’t limited to mobile devices; it’s also accessible on PCs.
There are two primary ways to use WhatsApp on a laptop or PC: installing the WhatsApp application or utilizing WhatsApp Web.
If you opt for WhatsApp Web, you typically need to scan a QR code to access your WhatsApp account on your computer. But what if you want to log in to WhatsApp Web on your desktop or laptop without the QR code?
This article will explore several methods to explain in detail how to use WhatsApp Web without relying on QR code scanning.
Methods to Log in to WhatsApp Web Without a QR Code
1. Logging in to WhatsApp Web with Your Phone Number
- Open your browser on your laptop.
- Go to web.whatsapp.com.
- You’ll see a QR code displayed, but instead of scanning it, click on the “Link with phone number” option located below the QR code.
- Enter your phone number in the provided field and click “NEXT”.
- Check your phone for a notification from WhatsApp. Enter the code displayed on WhatsApp Web into the WhatsApp notification on your phone to link the devices.
- If a message “Are you trying to link a device?” appears on your phone, tap “Confirm”.
2. How to Log in to WhatsApp Web Without Scanning a QR Code Every Time
- Open a browser on your Laptop/PC and type WhatsApp Web in the search bar.
- Open the WhatsApp Web link from the search results.
- Wait for the QR code to appear.
- Before scanning the QR code, find and check the “Keep me signed in” or “Stay signed in” option. This is usually located below or near the QR code. Then, proceed to scan the QR code displayed on your laptop screen with your phone. Selecting this option ensures you won’t need to scan a QR code each time you access WhatsApp Web on the same browser.
- By doing this, the next time you access WhatsApp Web on the same computer and browser, you should be automatically logged in without needing to scan a QR code again.
3. Logging in to WhatsApp Web Without a QR Code Through Settings (Device Management)
- Initially, log in to WhatsApp Web using the QR code scan method at least once and ensure you checked “Keep me signed in”.
- Open the WhatsApp application on your phone.
- Tap on the three vertical dots (or settings icon, depending on your phone’s OS) usually located in the top right corner.
- Navigate to “Linked devices”. Here, you can see a list of devices where your WhatsApp account is currently logged in, including your laptop or PC.
- As long as your laptop or PC is listed and active in the “Linked devices” section and you haven’t explicitly logged out from WhatsApp Web on your computer, you should remain logged in.
- To ensure persistent login without QR codes in the future, avoid clicking “Log out” or “Sign out” from WhatsApp Web on your browser or the option “Log out of all devices” in your WhatsApp phone settings, unless necessary.
These methods provide different ways to access WhatsApp Web without the need for QR code scanning. Choose the method that best suits your needs for quick and easy access to WhatsApp on your computer. We hope this information is helpful!
