Whatsapp Downloaded and Installed on Windows-Based Computers

I am sure that there is nothing new regarding Whatsapp that you can think about. Everybody knows that Whatsapp is one of the best chat messengers out there and now, I am glad to tell you that Whatsapp for PC is available as well. This is true. You have now the opportunity install Whatsapp on any personal computer, as long as you follow the following steps.

As you probably know, Whatsapp is a cross-platform messaging app, which allows you to send messages around the globe, completely free of charge. Moreover, Whatsapp brings us the possibility to send text messages, multimedia files such as documents, photos and videos, and much more.
At this point, Whatsapp is available for pretty much all-mobile operating system on the market, and it can be used on iOS, Android, Blackberry, Symbian, Java, and Windows. However, since there are plenty of people out there who do not own a smartphone, the possibility to install Whatsapp on PC, is more than welcomed.

However, this process is not as complicated, especially if you are mot familiar with the platform. On the other hand, if you have used Whatsapp on your smartphone, I am sure that you will be just fine.
Whatsapp is a revolutionary product or better called, a service, that has been downloaded more than 200 million times at this point. It is worth mentioning the fact that Whatsapp is ne of those engaging messengers, which does not support ads. This thing gives it a huge advantage in front of others.

The first step in downloading and installing Whatsapp on PC is to find a proper Android emulator you can use in order to find all those great mobile apps and games. The emulator will put you in contact with the world of mobile apps in a simple manner.

For this, you have a couple of options available, and some of them are actually pretty famous. Let us take the Bluestacks emulator, one of the most downloaded and used Android emulators available on the market. The good thing with Bluestacks is the fact that it is completely free of charge. The bad part is that this emulator might be a little bit too demanding since it requires at least 2 GB of RAM in order to work. This might be a problem for some people, and this includes myself, as well.



As another alternative, we have YouWave another Android emulator available for download, which does pretty much the same thing. However compared with Bluestacks, YouWave is not free of charge, and after 10-days trial, you will have to purchase the product. YouWave is simpler, easier, and lighter than Bluestacks, which makes it the second choice in my suggestion list.

As I mentioned, you need to have the emulator installed on your device before you start downloading any mobile apps. Actually, without the emulator, you are not able to download any app whatsoever. Therefore, after you complete the first step, you can launch the emulator you want to use and start searching for Whatsapp for PC. It is that simple and easy, as you may see.

Once you have Whatsapp installed and ready to launch on your device, you can start customizing the service. In addition, when I say customizing, I refer to the fact that you need to login, to provide a working phone number, as well as the country where you live in.

Related to the phone number you plan to use, you need to keep in mind not to use the same number as the one you use on the mobile version. This might cause a series of annoying events, such as the need to re-verify your phone number through a text message each time you launch the program. I know that in this way, you can have the same contacts available in Whatsapp on PC, but then, when you want to use the service on your Smartphone, you will have to re-verify it once again.



In order to avoid this, you should use a different number, and upload your contacts manually. This should not take that long, especially if you do not have too many contacts added to you account. After you have settled this issue, you can start customizing your account, with a profile picture, status and personal information.
