How to log into WhatsApp on a computer if your phone is broken - in detail?
If your phone is broken, you can still access your WhatsApp account from a computer using the WhatsApp Web or Desktop application. Here's how to log into WhatsApp on a computer with a broken phone:
-
Check Your Phone:
Ensure that your phone has an active internet connection and is powered on. WhatsApp Web requires your phone to be connected to the internet for synchronization. If your phone screen is cracked but still functional, you can proceed to the next step.
-
Open WhatsApp Web or Desktop:
- For WhatsApp Web: Go to web.whatsapp.com on your computer's web browser.
- For WhatsApp Desktop: Download and install the WhatsApp Desktop application from the official website (whatsapp.com/download) if you haven’t already done so.
-
Scan the QR Code:
- On your computer, you will see a QR code displayed on the WhatsApp Web or Desktop interface.
- On your phone, open the WhatsApp application and navigate to the settings menu (usually represented by three dots in the upper-right corner).
- Select "Linked Devices" from the menu. This option allows you to link your WhatsApp account with another device without needing to scan a QR code directly on your phone screen.
-
Link a Device:
- In the Linked Devices section, select the option to "Link a Device."
- You will be prompted to point your phone’s camera at the QR code displayed on your computer screen. If your phone's screen is broken and you cannot scan the QR code directly, consider using another device (such as a tablet or a friend's phone) with WhatsApp installed.
- Open WhatsApp on the secondary device and go to Linked Devices > Link a Device, then use that device to scan the QR code on your computer screen.
-
Complete the Login Process:
- Once the QR code is successfully scanned, your WhatsApp account will be linked to your computer. You can now log into WhatsApp Web or Desktop and start using WhatsApp from your computer.
- Note that you must keep your phone connected to the internet for this process to work. If your phone screen is completely unresponsive, you might need to take it to a repair shop to regain access.
By following these steps, you can log into WhatsApp on a computer even if your phone is broken, ensuring that you don’t miss any important messages or conversations.
