I learned a neat trick with Whatsapp which is that you bring up a web client on your computer using https://web.whatsapp.com/. Very cool - it uses QR code technology to sync up with your phone and now I can use WhatApp on my computer! Quite the game changer for communicating with friends that use what’s app.
Apparently Telegram has a similar trick. Who knew! My friend Warren brought this to my attention.
