You'll need the WhatsApp Web Chrome extension to get WhatsApp desktop
notifications. Then, all you need to do is install a simple add-on
called WAToolkit.
After installing it, you will see a new icon in
your browser toolbar. Hover your cursor over it to see the most recently
received message, or right click for more options. You'll also notice
the WAToolkit options button in your WhatsApp Web tab. The best part?
WAToolkit will notify you of messages on your desktop even when Chrome
itself isn’t running.
- Install WhatsApp Web on PC
- In the WhatsApp Web browser window, go to Options > Notifications and ensure that Desktop Alerts is ticked
- Install the Chrome browser extension WAToolkit
- Make sure the background notifications box is ticked, like in the image below
Tick the 'Wide text bubbles' box in the WAToolkit options to fit more messages on your screen.
