Accessing WhatsApp on your computer will require your mobile device connected to a strong internet connection. Download WhatsApp Desktop for macOS 10.11.0 or later and enjoy it on your Mac.

With this tool, you can send multimedia content, create and manage groups, save conversations, make changes to your profile, and even take photos with your computer's built-in camera.

Although there is a way to enjoy your favorite chat app right from your Mac, WhatsApp Web's biggest drawback is that you can only use it from a web browser.
