WhatsApp Web was introduced way back in 2015 with much fanfare, but the standalone app always had a drawback, which is the requirement of your phone nearby to the laptop or PC. However, things might change very soon as WhatsApp Web will soon get a Universal Windows Platform that was developed by Microsoft. WABetaInfo, the website which tracks all details about WhatsApp has reported this news stating it as a ‘rumour,’ meaning take this news with a pinch of salt. The UWP app and the new multi-platform system which WhatsApp is developing right now will allow users to chat on their desktop app without the requirement of a phone. In some cases, your phone might be switched off, or you might be away from your phone, in such instances, the upcoming feature will be handy. Notably, WhatsApp rival app, Telegram has a similar feature on offer for a few years now.

WhatsApp Web May No Longer Requires Your Phone to Function
To recall, WhatsApp Web was introduced way back in 2015, and immediately, it became one of the most useful features of the all-time. Right now, WhatsApp Web can be used only when your phone is nearby and has an active internet connection, and it’s considered as a drawback by many. With Telegram rolling out the UWP feature ahead of WhatsApp, it’s much-needed for the Facebook-owned company to come up with a similar feature.
“And yes, according to my rumour, UWP + the new multi-platform system = you can use WhatsApp UWP on your PC if your phone (Android, iOS or Windows Phone) is off,” tweeted WABetaInfo. At the moment, WABetaInfo mentions it as a rumour, and there is no evidence to prove that the feature is in works, so take this news with a grain of salt for now.
