A set of useful and lightweight tools for WhatsApp™ Web client.

Image from store WAToolkit
Description from store ★★★★★ WATookit is the best rated extension for WhatsApp™ Web! Never ever miss a WhatsApp notification again while you are on your desktop computer. This extension makes it possible to receive WhatsApp notifications even when there is no WhatsApp tab or Chrome window at all open. This way you will never miss a message again while working on your PC. ———————————————————— FEATURES ———————————————————— ★ Enables always-on desktop notifications: Chrome will run in background mode permanently, keeping track and showing your WhatsApp notifications instantly. You can click on the notifications to go directly to the relevant chat. ★ Adds a convenient WhatsApp button to the toolbar: It includes the number of unread messages always visible. You can hover the mouse over the icon and you will see a summary of your unread conversations in a tooltip. In addition, the icon will become orange if there's some kind of connectivity issue with your phone. You can still hide the button if you want, just right click on it and select "Hide button". ★ Ensures you only have one instance of WhatsApp Web open at any time: That way you can focus on the right tab in any situation. Moreover, you won't be bothered with WhatsApp's exit confirmation messages any more. ★ Extremely lightweight and fast: Coded with performance in mind. ———————————————————— FREQUENT QUESTIONS ———————————————————— • How to use it? To start using WhatsApp Web, install this extension and click on the Chrome toolbar button with the "T" icon. If you are not logged in to WhatsApp Web, you must follow the instructions and scan the QR code with your phone. Remember to check the "Keep me signed in" checkbox so that your session is not closed automatically, or you may miss notifications. • I cannot see any notification, what's happening? If the toolbar "T" icon is orange, there might be some connectivity issue with your phone. If you still cannot see WhatsApp notifications, please refer to the official support thread to solve the issue: http://www.whatsapp.com/faq/web/28080004 ———————————————————— PERMISSIONS ———————————————————— The message shown by Google Chrome for the requested permissions is far from the real needs of the extension, but the permissions are technically required for the following reasons: • Read and change your data on all whatsapp.com sites: Required to create the background page that holds an active WhatsApp session. • Read your browsing history: Required to detect whether an active WhatsApp session exists among the tabs you are browsing, avoiding conflicts with the background page. ———————————————————— LICENSE ———————————————————— WAToolkit is free and open source. The source code is released under The GNU General Public License v3.0. ———————————————————— LEGAL ———————————————————— WhatsApp is a trademark of WhatsApp Inc., registered in the U.S. and other countries.

  • (2022-10-15) Eyad Tamer: Doesn't work
  • (2022-08-22) M. A J: - It is no longer open source - It forces you to redirect the search engine to their site, so all your searches are routed to them and addressed back to bing Stop using this and revert to the open source archive
  • (2022-07-29) ᴍᴏʀᴀᴢ_M80: super muy practica y recomebdable
  • (2022-07-28) Sandro: Show!!!

  • (2022-07-08) Rick Fleischman: Changed my default search engine!!! Unless I can set my own search engine I am going to uninstall. A shame because it's a nice app otherwise.
  • (2022-06-08) Alexander Landman: Nice BUT Nice extension and does what is promises but why does it take over your search engine? https://i.imgur.com/jZHMkCy.jpg very suspicious. if you try to change the search engine it disables the extension. Fix this and you will get 5 stars
  • (2022-06-02) Fawad Khan: good option for desktop.
  • (2022-05-23) kauã almeida: engraçado como no Edge essa extensão muda o mecanismo de busca pro do google, e no Chrome ele muda para o bing...
  • (2022-05-11) Muhammad Febriantoro: Very useful for my activity, fast connect and it's free to use
  • (2022-04-29) Nika Gerson Lohman: It was good, intill they decided to change my default engine to theirs :(
  • (2022-04-28) Odoi Dominic: Love it
  • (2022-04-26) Geert Verhaag: Did you REALLY just change my default search engine to: site.watoolkit.com (going to Bing)?? Are you out of your minds??
  • (2022-04-19) Florian Brunner: Hinweis: Es handelt sich hierbei NICHT um das ORIGINALE WAToolkit! Seit kurzer Zeit werden sämtliche Suchanfragen zuerst zu site.watoolkit.com und dann zu Bing weitergeleitet. Die User wissen nicht, was mit den Daten auf site.watoolkit.com passiert, da sie das auch kaum mitkriegen. In der Beschreibung wird auch nichts darüber erwähnt, im Gegenteil, dort steht sogar, dass "keine Daten gesammelt werden". Nun, der ORIGINALE / URSPRÜNGLICHE Entwickler von WAToolkit hat bereits auf seiner Github Seite gemeldet, dass er nicht mehr der Eigentümer der Version im Chrome Webstore ist, sondern jemand anderer. Es wird empfohlen, die originale Version über Github herunterzuladen, dort wird die Suchmaschine NICHT geändert. (Quelle: https://github.com/cprcrack/WAToolkit/issues/26#issuecomment-997848585)

  • (2022-03-23) 森王: This is a hijack software, actually hijacking my Google search, collect my privacy, so many people download it to use, a bunch of fools
  • (2022-03-19) rzak khan: I love it.
  • (2022-03-04) Alexandru Vega: The extension works fine and does what advertises, but with a small problem. It changes my default search engine from Google to Bing and it cannot be changed back or to some other engine unless I disable the extension. Why does it force me to use something I don't need?
  • (2022-02-26) Nuke Tube: Ohne es mit einem Wort zu erwähnen hat der Entwickler im neusten Update einprogrammiert dass die Standard Suchmaschine durch seine BING Suche im Browser ersetzt wird, akzeptiert man dies nicht, kann man die App nicht nutzen. Kann nur jedem Empfehlen diese App zu deinstallieren und missbrauch zu melden.
  • (2022-02-22) CRUZ ANTONIO EMMANUEL ALEJANDRO: xd
  • (2022-02-21) Marco Schutz: Muda a pesquisa do navegador... Antes era boa, remove o google e coloca o bing.
  • (2022-02-20) João Silva: De um dia para o outro, a extensão alterou o provider de pesquisa, e não permite voltar a colocar o anterior. Desinstalado!
  • (2022-02-14) Luis Alberto Cañete Baez: Cambio buscador predeterminado
  • (2022-02-11) Mateus Wallace: muito bom,
  • (2022-02-04) Alex M. B.: Foarte buna fiind si gratis. Stabila, rapida, login securizat din WhatsApp mobil din Linked Devices(ramane logata pana PC-ul intra in Sleep sau restart), fara pb de peste 1 an. Are aproape toate functiile WhatsApp afara de apel audio si video. V nice & good, it's free. Stable, fast, secured login from mobile ver WhatsApp from Linked Devices(stays logged in until sleep/log off/ restart), no pbs for more than 1 year! Has all the WhatsApp functions aside audio & video calls.
  • (2022-02-03) Andrey Patrushev: Работает,удобно что в фоном режиме при закрытии браузера.Но принудительно устанавливает по умолчанию поисковую систему Bing и сменить её нельзя,не отключив WAToolkit,цензурных слов нет...
  • (2022-01-25) RC BEBEDOUROS: muito bom
  • (2022-01-24) Aseer Hameem: why does it need to change my search settings to: site.watoolkit.com ?? Ridiculous!!
  • (2022-01-19) Viraj Shah: STOP LETTING ME SEARCH GOOGLE BY GOING THROUGH YOU!
  • (2022-01-18) Kareem Armnazi: I was using it for more than 7 Years it was perfect until they ruin it by changing my search engine and preventing me from changing it back to google. Not recommended if you like to use Google search engine in your normal search.
  • (2022-01-12) Ghaem Recovered: i really need it but when i enable it my search engine change and cannot change it to google. its annoying really bad !! give me help.
  • (2022-01-11) Rebeca de Campos: Aparentemente bom
  • (2022-01-10) P W: Verändert ohne mein Wissen die Standard-Suchmaschine! Das geht gar nicht!
  • (2022-01-09) fifikr: Die nicht beeinflussbare Änderung der Suchmaschiene geht gar nicht
  • (2022-01-08) Christian Bacher: I used to like this extension very much. However, with the new update (since approx. December 21) the app forces the user to use the "BING" search engine. You will be asked to "accept" the changes made by WAToolkit. Declining to use the the forced search engine selection will disable the extension (by chrome). I do not understand why the developer all of a sudden "misuses" this excellent app?
  • (2022-01-03) Stefan Blatti: Used to be great and reliable. The new version changes the google search settings in the background. Uninstall... FYI: You can deactivate the hijack of the adress bar search Click Settings Scroll down until you reach Search engine section You’ll see the option “Search engine used in address bar” and a box next to it Deactivate
  • (2022-01-01) James Zigrino: *sigh* potentially so useful... But surreptitiously overrides your default search engine to Bing (I'm still flummoxed why chrome still allows this as it's such a source of abuse), so it's an automatic 1 star review and swift uninstall. Because its shown to be demonstrably inherently untrustworthy, I'm highly suspicious of what else it might also be doing... USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
  • (2022-01-01) Christoph Schulze-Bentrop: Change of ownership: Hijacks search settings now and is in violation of its privacy declaration. DO NOT TRUST!
  • (2021-12-31) Iago Zanfir: Piorou muito! Já tem algumas semanas que ele altera o mecanismo de busca padrão (Google, no meu caso) para o Bing, por conta própria. Ou você aceita usar o Bing, ou não usa a extensão. Quando tirarem isso volto a usar.
  • (2021-12-31) asan1050: great app. please try it for yourself
