There are a number of unofficial WhatsApp apps or widgets that you can get. If equipped, you can also use your webcam to snap a quick picture and send it as an attachment. You can view all the attachments sent by others. You can still send attachments from your PC as long as they are photographs. This also means that your phone's data connection is constantly being used. Your web session stays active as long as your phone has a connection to the internet. You can do that by logging out of the WhatsApp Mac app by going to File menu > Log Out, then simply starting the steps above exactly as written.The WhatsApp web client uses your phone to connect and send messages – in a sense, everything is mirrored. If you have already setup WhatsApp to use on the Mac you will need to re-link the WhatsApp client on Mac to your iPhone to get this working properly. What if I’m already setup with WhatsApp on the computer? There is a 4 device limit with this feature at the moment, but perhaps that will change when the linked devices feature leaves beta. While this is technically in beta it seems to work flawlessly, so use it with confidence. Without this linked device feature enabled, when your iPhone is offline or not connected to the internet, WhatsApp on the computer also will not work.

Some common examples are if you turned your phone off, if the phone is updating system software, if the cellular network is down but wi-fi is working, or many other scenarios where the phone isn’t online but the computer is. This is a handy if your phone goes offline or gets disconnected for whatever reason, but you still want to message people through WhatsApp on the computer. Now if your iPhone (or Android, no judgments!) is offline, you can continue to use WhatsApp on the Mac (or PC, not judging!), chatting away.
