You will see that the browser takes you to the download page instead.
Download Firefox on your mobile, or Android tablet and fire up the ‘’ url. For an Android tablet, simply follow the steps ahead. In order to use WhatsApp from a mobile, you need a second smartphone with data or Wi-Fi connected.
It basically simulates itself as a desktop browser, telling the website that it is a desktop PC and brings in the desktop website to the screen.Īlso Read: How to get the latest WhatsApp update before your friend This can be overridden with a simple trick.Īll you need to use is Firefox, which has the feature that allows the mobile browser to open a website as a desktop. Instead, it takes you to the page to download the WhatsApp app. The tablet’s browser detects the device as a mobile unit and does not allow the web version to open up. However, if you want to use WhatsApp on your iPad, similar to how you would use it on your desktop, it is ‘almost’ impossible.
Unless you have a tablet with calling features (where you have the option to install a SIM card and make use of it as a large phone) you cannot use WhatsApp. Since the tablet version of WhatsApp is not available, the limitations are equally disheartening. We all know that WhatsApp cannot be used on a tablet, be it Android, Windows or Apple. Your WhatsApp messenger can then be used simultaneously on your desktop PC or laptop.
Simply open a browser, hit the ‘’ url and pair your smartphone with the QR code that is displayed on the screen. However, if you want the convenience of a larger screen and the comfort of typing with a physical keyboard, you can pair it with the web edition of WhatsApp using your PC or laptop. It can only be used on a single device at any given point of time. So until then, you can send an audio clip for WhatsApp even as you’re on your morning jog or too lazy to text.WhatsApp, the most commonly use and powerful messaging application for mobile devices has a limitation in itself. But hey! There’s always more room for updates. The voice command feature on the assistant is yet limited to WhatsApp and only send regular messages for messaging apps like BBM, Viber, Telegram, Text Plus and Threema.
Sadly, just yet the cool new feature neither works for Android Wear nor Google Search (widget voice command) as the former only dictates and transcribes the message and the latter loops continuously. Wait! There’s more to the awesomeness, as you can even assign shortcuts to the assistant, so there’s no need to say the exact words again. Of Course, it takes your approval before sending it and so you can re-record the message or change the recipient. If you add the recipient’s name in the command, it will take you directly to the former and the best part of it all, you can simply say, “Send a voice message to X (my cat!) blah-blah-blah” and the AI assistant will prepare the audio clip for the recipient accordingly. You can then either tap the send better or simply command, “OK Google, send”. Now that you know that too, every time you want to send voice message to someone on WhatsApp, command, “OK Google, send a voice message,” the interface will take you to a screen like shown below where once you choose the recipient, you can record and send the message to that person (or in my case, to my cat! ). First of all, if you have an Android phone and you haven’t enabled the awesome AI feature, do it now! Go to google now app (download it if you haven’t), head to its Menu, browse the Settings, select Voice and enable OK Google Detection. Moving on, what always bugged me was when I would ask “ OK Google, send a voice message,” it would simply repeat after me like a trained parrot! Guess Sundar Pichai heard my plea because now you can send audio files to your WhatsApp with “OK Google.” In Google’s defense, maybe it's been always there but I never tried it until I saw this new feature on Whatsapp.
I recently stumbled upon an extremely useful " OK Google"command that you can give to your Android phone.
