Troubleshooting
- Panel not visible? Refresh WhatsApp Web, confirm the extension is enabled, and check you are signed in.
- Panel overlaps elements? Report the window width; layouts adapt down to common laptop sizes, and the panel can be collapsed.
- Not logged into workspace? Use the account button in the panel header; sessions persist per browser profile.
- Corporate browser policies? Managed devices may restrict extensions — ask your IT admin before rollout.
Supported browsers
