Go to WhatsApp Web on your computer and log in via the QR code. To do this, open WhatsApp on your Android phone > tap the three-dots icon on the top-right > Settings > WhatsApp Web. On iPhone, open WhatsApp > Settings > WhatsApp Web. Now scan the code on your computer’s screen and log in.

Right-click the WhatsApp Web page and click Inspect Element. Now search for body class=”web”. On some browsers such as Safari for Mac, you might have to search for body class=”web text-rendering-bug-fix”.
