My phones display broke, which means that yeah it vibrates, makes noise for notifs etc. Even the touchscreen is dead. My question is that if I can somehow access WhatsApp without my phone. web.whatsapp does exist but you need to first scan a QR code with your phone. so like I need something so that I can use WhatsApp independently on my pc

Whatsapp web is reliant on your phone, so as far as I know, it's not possible.

What you could do (other than get a new display) is try the OTG method. Assuming you have not an iPhone, get an OTG cable (micro USB/Type C to normal USB/Type A) and plug in a mouse and you will be able to navigate your screen. That might be a way to still click the whatsapp web button on your phone.

You know kind of where you need to click, I would assume.

Like the options button is on the top right, the whatsapp web is a little ways down and the 'add' button is the top right again.

Otherwise you could look into a cable that adapts your phone's port to HDMI and plug it into a display, but it's not guaranteed to work.

U can actually use an android emulator on pc. I used Nox App Player an year ago for accessing WhatsApp on pc.
