Limitations of WhatsApp web on Mac

Like every coin has two sides, the WhatsApp web version has some limitations. Here are a few of them.

Chat history: You cannot access your WhatsApp chat history using the web version. It would be best if you used your iPhone to view all previous messages. Export chats: The web version of WhatsApp does not offer a direct option to save or export chats. It would help if you used your iPhone to preserve your conversations. Location sharing: To inform someone of your whereabouts, you must use your phone, as location sharing is impossible when using WhatsApp on a desktop. Adding new contacts: If you receive a message from an unfamiliar number while using the desktop app, you cannot add it to your contacts directly.
