How to check if WhatsApp Web is connected - in detail?

To verify if WhatsApp Web is connected, follow these detailed steps:

  1. Check the Connection Status:

    • Open WhatsApp on your phone.
    • Tap on the three dots (vertical ellipsis) in the top-right corner to access the menu.
    • Select "Linked Devices" from the list. This option allows you to see all devices connected to your WhatsApp account, including WhatsApp Web sessions.

  2. Review Active Sessions:

    • In the Linked Devices section, look for any active sessions listed under "Web/Desktop."
    • If there is an active session, it means that WhatsApp Web is connected and you can communicate through your web browser or desktop app.

  3. Disconnect Unrecognized Sessions:

    • If you see a session that you do not recognize, it could indicate unauthorized access to your account.
    • To protect your privacy, tap on the suspicious session and select "Log Out" to disconnect it immediately.

  4. Check Browser Status:

    • Open WhatsApp Web in your web browser (web.whatsapp.com).
    • If you are connected, you will see your recent chats and contacts. If not, the page might display a QR code or an error message indicating that the connection is lost.

  5. Scan the QR Code:

    • If you need to reconnect, open WhatsApp on your phone, go to "Linked Devices," and select "Link a Device."
    • Point your phone's camera at the QR code displayed in your web browser to establish a new connection.

  6. Monitor Connection Stability:

    • Ensure that your internet connection is stable on both your phone and your computer or web browser.
    • Poor connectivity can cause WhatsApp Web to disconnect intermittently, affecting your ability to send and receive messages.

By following these steps, you can accurately determine the status of your WhatsApp Web connection and take appropriate actions to maintain secure and efficient communication.
