Whatsapp For PC : How to Use Whatsapp on PC  ?

1. This is the First step. Downloading Whatsapp

To use Whatsapp on PC first of all download either Bluestacks or Youwave for Android. And install any one of the two.

Note: Bluestacks may not install on some devices due to its graphic requirements, in that case you need to install Youwave for Android.

Installing Whatsapp on Bluestacks

• Open Bluestacks and you will see a search box there.
• Now type “Whatsapp” in the search Box and click on “Find”.
• Now in the search results you will see “Whatsapp Messenger”. Click on the install button in front of it.
• Wait for some time while Whatsapp installs on your PC.

Installing Whatsapp on Youwave

After downloading Youwave install it and run. Now follow the below given steps to install Whatsapp on Youwave

• Now after Youwave has fully loaded, on the Youwave menu bar click on View >>Online Content
• Now you will see some Apps listed below and Whatsapp would also be listed among them.
• Click on Whatsapp icon to install Whatsapp.
• Wait for some time while whatsapp is being downloaded.
• You can track the download by looking on the right side of the Menu Bar.
• After the download is complete click on View >> Apps. And you will see Whatsapp listed there.
• Double click on Whatsapp to install it in Youwave.
• Now Browse for Whatsapp on Youwave and click on it to run.

Now, that you have installed Whatsapp on your PC it’s time to configure it and verify your Phone Number so that you can use it.

2. Configuring and verifying Phone Number

After installing Whatsapp run it and then you need to input the Phone number in the box provided for the same. Now Whatsapp will try to send SMS to the phone number you entered and verify it. You will get the Message with the code but Whatsapp would not be able to verify it since the phone number (SIM cars) is on some other device. Whatsapp will wait for SMS Verification for 5 minutes and then will show an error message.

You would see another option on this error page saying “Call Me” click on it and you will receive a call from some International Number and you will hear a Verification Code. Input that code in the box provided for the same.

Remember that do not enter even a single digit of verification code wrong otherwise you will have to repeat the whole verification process again.

You are almost done. After Whatsapp starts you need to add contacts manually into it so that you can chat with your friends.
