A bit off-topic, but maybe relevant for others.
The scenario is that several of my companys travelling service people wants to communicate with me over Whatsapp. This because regular cell phone can be quite expensive in some countries.
I am however not so keen on having Whatsapp on my cellphone. My previous experience is that my whatsapp ID gets known by customers who then misuse it to get quick support also out of business hours, i.e in the middle of the night for example.
Therefore I was thinking on installing Whatsapp on my work PC. My work PC I only use during work-hours (obviously), and I can then use a headset while I conveniently have documents and programs available on the PC at the same time.
When I check out the Windows version of whatsapp, it says in the description that it must be paired with a cellphone. It says that the messages are 'conveniently' mirrored on the two devices.
Is that correct ? The PC version is merely an extension of the smartphone app ?
Is there no way that I can have whatsapp on my PC without that I must allow whatsapp on my cellphone ?
