whatsapp on web ! (first experience & guide)

Hi fellows, today I thought to write a quick and small post about whatsapp and newly launched whatsapp on web.I hope you guys saw the news that whatsapp launched whatsapp web.
When I saw that news on facebook I was gone to http://www.whatsapp.com and tried to use and see what is whatsapp web and its features.
In the website there is a QR code we have to scan through our whatsapp installed smart phone.to scan the QR, you will have to use whatsapp inbuilt QR reader.to open this, there is guide added in the bottom of the site depending on your phone OS.

For android, the instruction is, whatsapp--->menu--->whatsapp web.
but unfortunately, in my phone, there was no any function named whatsapp web.to solve this thing, I have googled for some videos to see how to use whatsapp web and i didnt get any solution at that moment.
Then I tried to check for an whatsapp update on google play to confirm that I am having the latest whatsapp update and my current update was 2.11.498 and the same was listed in the whatsapp site as the latest update.

Finally what I have done is, I have unstalled whatsapp  on my phone and reinstalled it. After the update, there was a function named whatsapp web on the menu, but the whatsapp version was same as the previous.

Then I have opened the whatsapp web on the phone and camera was open inside the whatsapp with QR code reader.

Then when I have scanned the QR code with the phone, the web page becomes active.from here you can message your contacts on whatsapp through webpage.

And also, in whatsapp, there will be some details about your connection with whatsapp web.

Like this you can add more whatsapp web sessions (multiple web tabs or browsers.).

But, to use this facility, you need to turn on wifi or mobile data on your phone and always get connected with the internet. otherwise you will be unable to send messages through whatsapp web and it will display a message like below.

So I am not sure this will help you to save mobile data or not.(I dont think it won't be a big deal because whatsapp useless very small amount of data.)Anyway this will help you to save your phones unlock button and bit battery.

Also I saw a small feature in this whatsapp web.Thats the displaying of battery status of your phone.but it only display when your phones battery is less than 25%(I dont know what presentage will identify the low battery status, but anyway it displaces that something like this, "your phone battery is low.charge it". )

Anyway hopefully this thing will be very useful than I think because its just  less than 15min I was working with this thing before I write this.Hope this will help you to deal with whatsapp web and solve that "NO WHATSAPP WEB feature on menu" problem.

thanks guys...byee!
