Well, some people like to have a text messenger for their phone when they are outside the house. But Why using Whatsapp on a laptop instead of your phone?
Indeed, unlike Skype and Viber, WhatsApp doesn’t have a native desktop platform. It only has only a (big) drawback compared to some other messaging apps: it’s not compatible (by default) with desktop OS, which means, it can be installed on your notebook or laptop but only following some precise step-by-step procedure (explained in this article). There are plenty of free messengers client for Pc, laptops and smartphones on the market but, honestly, Whatsapp is the best and most robust, flexible, popular instant messenger available today. Installing WhatsApp Messenger on your phone can offer many advantages, like saving money on sending Text Messages (SMS) or exchanging pictures and videos between friends easily.
