There supposedly is a way to use BlueStacks (separate web link).

You can sign into macOS 'whats app' without the scan code.

"You can access whatsapp web without scanning QR code with the help

of BlueStacks. All you have to do is to install your whatsapp in BlueStacks.

BlueStacks allow you to access whatsapp web without scanning QR code

in both Windows and Mac. ~ There may be so many people who do not

know about BlueStacks, because this name is not very common."


However there are steps such as download 'whats app' for macOS

& at some point, verify with smart phone, a 'whats app' there too.

Actually the mac version will supply a QR code, the smartphone

can then scan; to use both phone & mac (or PC version.) But not

exactly; & I do not use these (or whatsapp) with iphone or mac.
