Its not open source at all, triple facepalm, read their bs before posting otherwise you get infected and turn into a muppet…Ĭopyright (c) 2015 Authors of the source code of this project Thanks to Aaron for sending this in! If you find any neat apps or utilities that you think other Mac and iOS users would enjoy, let us know! Yes this works with iPhones at the, you can also try this workaround. Perhaps WhatsApp will allow third party client connections down the road, much like its cousin Facebook Chat, which works great in the Mac Messages app. So, if you want to use WhatsApp on the Mac, try out WhatsMac, it works quite well.
#Whatsapp desktop for mac 10.7.5 update#
An update for the iOS app an web app will bring that critical QR code ability remains to be seen. As several commenters have pointed out, the current version of WhatsApp for iPhone doesn’t allow QR code scanning, which means the WhatsApp for web and WhatsMac tools are only available for WhatsApp users coming from iPhone, Android, Blackberry, and WindowsPhone. The WhatsApp web app works on any platform with a modern web browser, not just OS X. Speaking of the web client, if WhatsMac isn’t doing it for you for whatever reason, anyone can also choose to run WhatsApp from the web here through the web based service, though you’ll still need a mobile app to get started (obviously, since WhatsApp is linked to phone numbers). You’ll need to scan the QR code from a compatible WhatsApp mobile app to get it working (if there is a way around that, let us know, since that is a limitation for iPhone users). It’s open source, so the extra curious can even poke around and see how the whole thing works, interacting with WhatsApp on the web. If you have Gatekeeper enabled (as most Mac users should), you’ll need to run the app around Gatekeeper by right-clicking and choosing “Open”.įor those who are curious how this works, WhatsMac is actually a wrapper to the web based WhatsApp messenger client, but it’s well done enough that you probably won’t notice that. Go here to the WhatsMac github page to get the download.You’ll need to have WhatsApp working and associated with a phone number first, then users can grab WhatsMac from the developer over at Github:
