So with all this talk of whatsapp being bought by facebook, and telegraph being mentioned i decided to install telegraph on my s4 just out of curiosity,

 

ive been using whatsapp for a long time now i find it great for talking to friends via my phone and its free compared to sending txt messages.

 

After trying telegraph.. yeah it seems almost exactly the same so no issue there, and i noticed there are a few unoffical desktop clients for it, now this caught my eye!

 

If only it was as simple as telling all my friends to jump on telegraph instead of using whatsapp.. but unfortunately thats not gonna happen, its like telling my un tech savy family members to stop using skype and start using mumble.

 

So anyway i was wondering if there is a Windows Desktop client for whatsapp a did a google search but its hard to tell whats legit and whats not.

 

Alot of the time i have my phone on silent for various reasons but i am almost always sitting at my comptuer and it would be great to be able to view my whatsapp messages and reply using my pc

Closest I've been able to achieve is the whatsapp plugin for Pidgin, but it doesn't allow me to be on my laptop/desktop and phone simultaneously.
