WhatsApp web actually runs on any devices which supports chrome like browsers like Google Chrome and Opera also. So if you want to run WhatsApp in your PC then your device must have these browsers. WhatsApp web simply lets you avail your chat in a bigger monitor and nothing else. As it runs on internet browser so there is less issue of compatibility with different devices. But you need your smartphone to be connected to the internet also. That is if the smartphone has no connection with the internet then the WhatsApp Web will not work.

Advantages of WhatsApp Web:

3. You are allowed to remotely logout from browsers.

4. No compatibility issue as it runs in a browser.

5. No need to download the app or any other softwares/extensions.

Disadvantages of WhatsApp Web:
