iPhone support quietly appeared overnight

The WhatsApp website’s list of supported devices quietly gained iPhone today and a user on Reddit spotted the menu option on their iPhone, using it successfully to set up desktop messaging.

Android, Windows Phone, BlackBerry and Nokia S40/60 owners can already use WhatsApp Web, which launched earlier this year.
