Most part of this issue has been covered, but what needs to be stressed is this:
It can be done, but it's hard and it is likely to be broken by any update whatsapp will push out. That makes maintaining it annoyingly and undoable hard. Also, legally you can't hold it, whatsapp will requests takedown of your app in the playstore if you pull these tricks.
On the issue from Patricio, proposing a more general VNC-like approach: this would be a wise choice to implement in a new, different application, not airdroid. Airdroid chose another architectural stance. Though debatable, they chose their way and it would be weird for only this issue to implement the whole vnc-thing.

Weâve see many users who want AirDroid support WhatsApp. Actually, we did consider this and tried to add WhatsApp in AirDroid, and we are somewhat successful in supporting WhatsApp. But to use WhatsApp in AirDroid, first of all, the device should be rooted. Next, AirDroid will need some sensitive private information from WhatsApp, this violates our privacy policy (Your data security is among the top priorities of AirDroid) and WhatsApp might not allow this. We will keep working on this and try other methods to see if thereâs a better way to support WhatsApp in AirDroid. If you have any ideas, please let us know. Thanks!

@Coffee_Administrator Would it be possible to implement something like remote desktop control of your smartphone into the web client? That way you would only have to have Whatsapp opened on your phone without requiring some sort of API or login. Of course this would cause some more traffic, but that usually shouldn't be an issue when you use your home wifi.
Totally agree. WhatsApp support would be fantastic

Thanks for the suggestion. AirDroid now do not support control apps in device. Our team will consider this and try to make improvements in future updates.
