WhatsApp LogoWhatsApp has extended its WhatsApp Web functionality to iOS devices.

It previously only supported Android, BlackBerry, and Windows handsets. With WhatsApp Web, users are able to send messages from their desktop browser in addition to their mobile device. Setting it up requires users to scan a QR code from within the WhatsApp application on their handset. They are then able to unlock the browser-based desktop client, where they’ll be able to message their WhatsApp contacts.

In addition to expanding WhatsApp Web to iOS, WhatsApp also updated its Windows Phone app. The app adds quite a handful of new features. For example, users can mark chats read or unread, as well as set custom notifications, vibrate alerts, and ringtones for individual conversations.

Contact Cards are now easier to integrate into WhatsApp’s contacts database for quicker replies. The app adds a significant number of new emoji and the ability to adjust the emojis’ colors. Last, the app makes it possible to set limits on the app’s mobile data usage.

WhatsApp is free to download from the Windows Store.
