How to Install WhatsApp on PC

Want to chat with friends and family with WhatsApp, but don't want to be hunched over your phone? You can use the BlueStacks Android emulator program to install BlueStacks on your home or work computer. This program acts like an Android device, allowing you to install and use WhatsApp.

Now Lets start
 Step 1: First download BlueStacks.          Download BlueStacks

BlueStacks is an Android emulator for Windows and OS X. You can use it to run Android-only apps without having to use an Android device. BlueStacks is available for free from the BlueStacks website.
  • If you are using Windows, download the BlueStacks Windows installer. If you are using a Mac, be sure to download the Mac version instead.
  • When installing BlueStacks, make sure that "App store access" is checked
Step 2: After downloading is finished, install it in your computer
             BlueStacks will take a few moments to install the included apps. Once it starts, you will be taken through a quick tour of the interface. After the tour, the App Store will initialize.



 Now your bluestacks is installed in your PC. Means now you are able to use approx all android game and app.

Step 3: Click the magnifying glass icon (Search icon) in the upper-left corner of the BlueStacks window. This will open the Google Play Store. If this is your first time running it, you will be asked to accept the terms and conditions.
Type "WhatsApp" into the search field and select it from the list of results.
  • You can usually find WhatsApp in the top row of apps when you first open the Google Play Store as well.
Step 4: Click the "Install" button at the top of the WhatsApp app page. A list of permissions will be displayed, which you will need to agree to in order to continue. When you click "Accept", the app will be downloaded and installed. You will be notified when it's ready to use.

If you'd rather avoid using the Play Store, you can download an APK file of the WhatsApp app. An APK file is the file format for Android app installation programs. Once the APK has been downloaded, it will automatically install itself in BlueStacks when you double-click the file.
  • You can get the WhatsApp APK from the WhatsApp website, or from a variety of Android community websites.
 Step 5:  If you're still in the App Store, you can start WhatsApp by clicking the "Open" button on the WhatsApp app page. If you're on the BlueStacks main screen, click the WhatsApp icon in the top row of your apps.

 Step 6: When you first start WhatsApp, you will need to agree to the WhatsApp terms and conditions. After agreeing, enter in your phone number. WhatsApp will send you an SMS message containing a code to verify your account.
  • Because BlueStacks is on your computer, but the SMS is sent to your phone, the initial verification will fail. You will need to try the verification a second time and have WhatsApp call you. You will receive a call with an automated message with the code to type in.
 Step 7: After you finish the verification process, you will be asked to create your profile if you are creating a new account. Click "Next" when finished. otherwise cancel.

Step 8: Now enjoy your whatsapp on PC.
