No its not. Your phone needs to stay on the whole time.

#43I have been waiting for this move for a long time, but, badly, doesn't support iOS yet :-S
Re: Whatsapp Web
#44Doesn't work for iOS! Better not release it then! :)
Why not?
Re: Whatsapp Web
#45I thought that Whatsapp didn't store (or read) messages, and that was why it was so secure / awesome? So how can they do this?
I think they still don't store it, What there are doing here is syncing all messages from phone to web when paired. FAQ clearly mentions that web version connects with phone to sync data - https://www.whatsapp.com/faq/en/web/28080002

#46They should have waited with the announcement until they got more browsers supported. This is really frustrating.

Re: Whatsapp Web
#48The title should more correctly say "Whatsapp for Google Chrome". You can't really say it's for "web" if Chrome is the only browser you support.
Maybe they're doing client-side encryption in JavaScript? Apparently native JS crypto is incomplete in Firefox: http://caniuse.com/#feat=cryptography

Sure, but they gotta start somewhere.
Re: Whatsapp Web
#50Heck of a roll-out, guys.
- only works on one browser
- requires interop with the mobile app
- supporting mobile app version on Android only
- supporting mobile app version not universally available on Android, presumably because of Google Play registry population or something.
