Steps for running WhatsApp for PC


BlueStacks,  a free application for Windows that can run applications such as WhatsApp for Android on Windows and that too, providing user with a much better interface than android emulator. It can be used to download any application available on the Google Play Store.

So, before we start, download BlueStacks on your computer(link below):

Now, open WhatsApp. Then , click on Agree and Continue button.

Step 3. Activating WhatsApp

In WhatsApp, your mobile number is your unique identity with which people can contact you on WhatsApp. Choose your country and enter your mobile number. As of now, WhatsApp thinks that you’re using a mobile phone and will send an SMS to your number from its web server. Upon receiving the SMS in your inbox, your mobile number would be verified.

            Wait a second!! How are you even going to receive an SMS on a computer? HAHA now, here comes the tricky part. We’ll take an alternative route, to be called – 'voice verification'. WhatsApp will wait for 5 minutes expecting the verification SMS to arrive on your computer and then prompt for an alternate way for verification. Wait for those 5 minutes to get over.

Step 5. Fool WhatsApp

After 5 minutes, WhatsApp will prompt for voice verification. Click on Call Mebutton. WhatsApp will dial your phone and you will hear an automated message with a 3-digit verification code, note it down and enter it on WhatsApp. Your number will now be verified, Yupiieee!! Congrats!!

One problem.. you can't use it on both your phone and PC at the same time. I had to reverify whatsapp on my phone when using this PC version which then cut the connection on the PC version because my mobile took it.

Yes you cant work on both at the same time.

Great Application,but is there a way to save my received images and audio to my computer?

Thanks in advance
