How to activate whatsapp on opera browser in 2017

Opera browser has rolled out a new feature in its latest update! Opera has been poising a great challenge to Chrome; its major competitor and has decided to take it social, this time. In its recent update, Opera has added Whatsapp, Messenger and Telegram to its browser which is a major breakthrough.  With this update, Opera users have more to do on the web than just surfing the Internet as they can easily switch to their favorite instant messengers with the flip of their fingers.
