Adding WhatsApp to the sidebar in Yandex can significantly enhance your productivity by allowing you to manage both personal and professional communications more efficiently. Here is a detailed guide on how to achieve this:

  1. Open Yandex Browser: First, launch the Yandex browser on your computer. Ensure that it is updated to the latest version for optimal performance.
  2. Access the Sidebar: Locate the sidebar icon, which is usually found at the top-right corner of the browser window. Clicking this icon will open or close the sidebar. If you do not see the sidebar icon, you can enable it by right-clicking on the toolbar and selecting "Customize."
  3. Add a New Widget: In the sidebar, find the "+" icon or the option to add a new widget. Click on this to proceed to the next step.
  4. Search for WhatsApp Web: A list of available widgets will appear. Use the search bar at the top to type in "WhatsApp Web." This will filter the results and make it easier to find the WhatsApp widget.
  5. Install WhatsApp Web Widget: Click on the WhatsApp Web widget from the search results. You may be prompted to install a browser extension or add-on that enables this functionality. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process.
  6. Log in to WhatsApp Web: After the installation is complete, you will see the WhatsApp Web icon in your sidebar. Click on it to open WhatsApp Web. You will be directed to a page where you need to scan a QR code using your mobile device. Open WhatsApp on your phone, go to Settings > Linked Devices, and scan the QR code displayed on your Yandex browser.
  7. Start Using WhatsApp: Once the QR code is successfully scanned, your WhatsApp account will be synced with WhatsApp Web. You can now send and receive messages directly from the Yandex sidebar without having to switch between different applications.

By following these steps, you effectively integrate WhatsApp into your daily workflow within the Yandex browser environment. This not only saves time but also ensures that you stay connected with colleagues, friends, and family while focusing on other tasks.
