WhatsApp web is indeed a spectacular feature where you can easily access WhatsApp texts and even revert, that too on your PC. You can run WhatsApp both on your smartphone and PC simultaneously. There is just one inconvenience, that I am sure many of us would have wanted to get rid of. And that is, to keep WhatsApp web connected, you also need to keep your smartphone connected to the internet. Consider this – you are amidst an important conversation, maybe an important brief is being rolled out on your office group. And, then suddenly your mobile data runs out of recharge or there is some glitch in your Wi-Fi. You are uncertain when you will get the internet back on your smartphone.
WhatsApp users may get a sigh of relief. Soon, WhatsApp users (both Android and iOS) will be able to use WhatsApp Web without needing to keep their smartphones connected to the internet.
