Edited by AliRaza, Charmed, Eng, estrella sacragon and 8 others

For every Android and iOS user, defining WhatsApp is just a waste of time, but for everyone else, WhatsApp is an application that allows you to send messages, pictures, audio files etc., via WiFi. For mobiles, you can also use 3G or 4G connectivity to send or receive such things. You can use WhatsApp on Blackberry, Android, iOS, Symbian and Windows, and now there are some methods which allow you to install it on your PC as well.

There will be moments in your life when you want to talk to someone but your network is down, or you've used up all your minutes, or you're beyond your network's coverage, and you can't send or receive any calls or messages. In those moments, WhatsApp is there to help. Public WiFi connectivity is so much more popular and accessible these days, so it won't be much of a problem to find a WiFi hotspot to send media faster than before, without any interruptions during the process. WhatsApp allows you to make a group conversation, something that none of the default messages applications offers.

Many gadget savvy people want to try each and every trending application they can. After all, as long as a person is technology oriented, you can expect that they'll learn about and be interested in different advancements.

One of app that's definitely trending is WhatsApp. First and foremost, WhatsApp is considered as a substitute for the originally installed SMS application of the smartphone. Instead of utilizing the cellular network to forward SMS messages, the user can connect with anyone who is in his or her phonebook via the internet.

The WhatsApp application is not only great for sending SMS texts, but users can also use this app for sending MMS or Multimedia messages. The WhatsApp application can also be used for group chats and voice messaging. Because WhatsApp utilizes the power of the internet to forward messages, a user doesn't have to worry about paying charges, even if the messages are sent to other countries.

Despite the fact that WhatsApp is considered a leader in its field, the makers of this application are aware that it lacks certain features, as well as functions; for instance, users can't use the chat feature on a PC. This feature is very common in other applications of the same kind.

As of writing of this article, the makers of the WhatsApp application haven't yet released a program for PC and Laptop users. This is the primary reason that they need to use their smartphones whenever they want to use this app. However, in order for PC and Laptop users to enjoy this trending application on their devices, they can download software called BlueStacks. BlueStacks is required to allow applications like WhatsApp function properly on a Laptop or personal computer.

Installing BlueStacks

The installation process of the BlueStacks software is not tedious. In fact, the process will only take about 15 minutes. Users should take note that this software is a form of Android emulator, and it can be downloaded from different websites. This particular software can put the home screen on the Laptop or personal computer, so applications like WhatsApp, will function almost the same way it does on your smartphone.

Before installing the WhatsApp application, a user should consider certain aspects such as the following:

  1. 1
    If the app needs to be activated on a Laptop or personal computer, the account in his or her phone should be deactivated
    .
    It is not possible to utilize the account on two devices at one time.
    Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
  2. 2
    The software - BlueStacks is only available in English
    .
    It is not available in other languages.
    Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
  3. 3

    .
    #You'll see a search icon.
    Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
  4. 4
    Type "WhatsApp" into the search field to the left side and hit enter.
    Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
  5. 5
    After you hit "Enter", there will be a page that shows instructions on how to install the app on the Laptop or PC
    .
