You Can Now Use WhatsApp Web on Your iPhone

The service has been available on other mobile platforms since January

WhatsApp Web, the desktop browser version of the popular instant messaging app, is now available for Apple’s iOS operating system, meaning Apple users can pair the app with their computers like Blackberry, Windows phone and Android users are already able to.
