We access WhatsApp on our computer through WhatsApp Web. There are very limited features available on WhatsApp Web but it is perfectly suitable for instant messaging and conversation.

Go to QR scan option and scan QR code shown on your web browser where you have opened WhatsApp Web. You will see your WhatsApp conversations on WhatsApp Web.

Does WhatsApp Notify Others When You Screenshot on Their Profile?

No, WhatsApp does not notify others when you screenshot WhatsApp conversation with someone else from your phone. Even when you screenshot someone's profile photo or status, the person will not get any notification.

However, there are times when you may want to monitor someone's WhatsApp activities secretly without the other person knowing.

Unfortunately, you cannot monitor someone's WhatsApp activity even when you have someone's WhatsApp login credentials because he will be logged out of his device when you log in with his login credentials from your device and hence, he will come to know about it.

Therefore, there is a need for an external app to screenshot someone's WhatsApp activities secretly.
