Is Logging Into WhatsApp Without a QR Code Possible? Here’s How!
Sometimes, tech gets tricky. Maybe your camera’s busted, or you just don’t want to bother with scanning QR codes. No worries—I’ve got you covered. Let’s break it down step by step.
Steps to Log In Without a QR Code
- Fire up your favorite web browser. Chrome, Safari, whatever works for you.
- Type web.whatsapp.com in the address bar and hit enter. You’ll land on the WhatsApp Web page.
- On the page, you’ll see a QR code staring back at you. Ignore it. Look to the bottom-left corner of the screen for an option that says Log in with phone number. Click it.
- Select your country from the dropdown menu.
- Type in your phone number.
- Hit Next.
- Grab Your Phone
- On iPhone: Open WhatsApp, tap Settings (bottom-right).
- On Android: Tap the three dots in the top-right corner and select Linked Devices.
- Instead of scanning a QR code, tap Link with phone number.
- A code will appear on your computer screen. Type it into your phone when prompted.
- Once linked, your chats will load on the computer screen automatically.
Keep your phone connected to the internet while using WhatsApp Web, or it won’t sync properly. Logging in without a QR code might seem like a small thing, but it can save you from unnecessary hassle when things don’t go as planned.
