To Install Whatsapp on Your PC or Laptop
To run Whatsapp on a computer, we are going to use a tool
named "Bluestacks".
Bluestacks is
actually a tool that lets you emulate android applications on Windows OS like
Windows XP SP3 and higher. Just like any other android application, Whatsapp
can be run using bluestacks easily. Download bluestacks from here: http://www.bluestacks.com/
After downloading and installing bluestacks, run and search
Whatsapp from the search bar provided in bluestacks or alternatively you can
download Whatsapp from its official site here: http://www.whatsapp.com
Now follow the steps shown on screen to install Whatsapp on
your computer. You may need to confirm your mobile number during the
installation. For this, you will be sent a special code to your mobile number
which you need to re-enter when asked by Whatsapp during installation.
Thats it!
Now you are done with installing Whatsapp on your Laptop or
PC and you can use it without any kind of limitations as perfectly as you could
with a smartphone.
