Downside of using WhatsApp Web

There are a few downsides to using this feature on WhatsApp. One of them being Highly dependent on stable and strong internet access. WhatsApp Web Desktop is also unable to make or receive phone calls from your PC or Laptop. Another drawback is because it is connected to sync with your phone, it is guaranteed that the battery will run out quickly. Even certain types of cell phones can make the phone very hot. Furthermore, WhatsApp Web cannot be used when the connected mobile phone is off. So that the mobile phone that is synchronized with WhatsApp must always be On. So if your phone is running low on battery or if it is off, of course, you also can't use WhatsApp Web.

Another issue about WhatsApp web is WhatsApp Web can only be accessible by one user at the same time, so we can't open multiple WhatsApp by the same number. However, if you need multiple admins to manage your one account you can use OneTalk by TapTalk.io. OneTalk provides an omnichannel solution for businesses to grow with WhatsApp.

So, what do you think? It’s an easy enough tutorial for you to follow, right? Even with some drawbacks, this could be a very useful thing for you who use WhatsApp as a Customer Service for your business.
