[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1799570, member: 110816"] WhatsApp is an app designed for your phone. You need a phone number to register your account. Once registered, you can use the app on your phone or through a PC with the desktop app. When you launch the desktop app, first time ( and at some interval) you will be required to authenticate the app with the one running on your phone. You will see a QR code that you will scan with the WhatsApp on your phone to grant the desktop app access. However, the desktop app isn't bypassing your phone to send/receive messages, rather it is using your phone to do that work for itself. So the desktop app is just a wrapper around your phone. If you turn your phone off or if the phone isn't reachable, the desktop app is useless. [/QUOTE]
