How to Change WhatsApp Web Language

Do you want to know how to change WhatsApp web language on your computer?

On a computer or desktop, you can use WhatsApp using a browser or its official apps for Windows and Mac OS.

The platform’s desktop and mobile apps provide an option to change the language. But, the browser version (web.whatsapp.com) still lacks the language option.

But, you can change the language in the WhatsApp Web or browser version.

So, in this article, I’ll show you how to change WhatsApp Web language.

WhatsApp launched its web service (WhatsApp Web) on January 21, 2015. It is a browser-based version of WhatsApp, that allows you to access your WhatsApp account on a computer or tablet through a web browser.

Well, it gives a seamless experience across multiple devices. However, the service also offers a standalone app for desktop platforms such as Windows and Mac.

The desktop app’s user interface is similar to the web client, and both require scanning a QR code from a mobile phone to log in, but apps provide a more integrated and feature-rich experience as compared to the WhatsApp Web browser version.

Sometimes, you might need to change the WhatsApp language in its web version for various reasons.
