QuickChat Sidebar for WhatsApp™ is a Chrome extension that opens WhatsApp Web in a separate window, allowing users to manage conversations alongside their browsing activities. It offers desktop notifications, an unread message badge, and options for controlling the chat window. The extension is intended for people who regularly communicate through WhatsApp while working, studying, or completing other tasks online.

Accessing and managing WhatsApp chats

Users can launch WhatsApp Web directly from the Chrome toolbar without opening a dedicated browser tab. After installing the extension, they can click its icon and sign in with their WhatsApp account or continue an existing session. A floating toolbar provides controls for refreshing WhatsApp Web, entering fullscreen mode, bringing the chat window to the front, toggling notifications, and accessing settings.

The extension also remembers the window's previous size and position, allowing users to return to their preferred arrangement. An optional auto-start setting opens chats when Chrome launches, so users do not have to manually open the extension at the beginning of each browsing session.

Staying updated with message notifications

QuickChat Sidebar provides desktop notifications when new messages arrive, including when the chat window is in the background. An unread message badge on the extension icon displays the number of unread messages, helping users identify conversations that may need attention. Notification sounds can also be enabled or disabled, allowing users to control how they receive alerts while concentrating on other activities.

A convenient tool for WhatsApp users

QuickChat Sidebar for WhatsApp™ is a useful option for people who frequently communicate through WhatsApp during online work or study sessions. It offers an alternative way to access WhatsApp Web without keeping the service open in a regular browser tab. For users who want to stay connected while handling other online activities, the extension can make everyday messaging more convenient.
