Yes. Just get the SMS code sent elsewhere and enter it in manually.
It won't let me download the app.

NOT COMPATIBLE WITH IOS:

Today, for the first time, millions of you will have the ability to use WhatsApp on your web browser. Our web client is simply an extension of your phone: the web browser mirrors conversations and messages from your mobile device -- this means all of your messages still live on your phone.

To connect your web browser to your WhatsApp client, simply open https://web.whatsapp.com in your Google Chrome browser. You will see a QR code --- scan the code inside of WhatsApp, and you’re ready to go. You have now paired WhatsApp on your phone with the WhatsApp web client. Your phone needs to stay connected to the internet for our web client to work, and please make sure to install the latest version of WhatsApp on your phone. Unfortunately for now, we will not be able to provide web client to our iOS users due to Apple platform limitations.

We really hope you find web client useful in your everyday lives.

I have read on some twitter feeds that the feature hasn't been rolled out to everyone just yet.
Also, this seems to be very similar to https://whatsremote.com/  (considering that WhatsApp can't get it to work with iOS)

You can now use Whatsapp on your computer by following the following steps: Update Whatsapp to the latest version on your phone, then go to the menu and select Whatsapp web (a barcode scanner should turn on). Go to web.whatsapp.com on your computer and scan your the QR on your computer with your phone.

Dont think it works for iPhone.
