One of its cool features is that you can connect WhatsApp on your mobile and desktop. This is done simply by using your phone to scan the QR code on your computer or portal.
But, in order for the feature to work properly, you needed to have data/internet on your cellphone.
The company is looking to change that.
According to a report by Jagran, WhatsApp is working on a feature that will allow its users to receive messages on desktop without having an internet connection on the phone.
