The application has become very popular.
All this thanks to a simple user interface and the absence of unnecessary and useless features. WhatsApp is available on almost all mobile platforms including Android, Windows Phone, BlackBerry, Nokia S40 series, iOS and Symbian. nine0003
However, there are people who want to install the messenger on their computer. So, is it possible to install WhatsApp on PC? You can use WhatsApp on your laptop, and here's how to do it.

How to install the official WhatsApp Messenger for PC
WhatsApp for PC is a long awaited request from the users of the most popular WhatsApp instant messaging application. Previously, the messenger was only available for smartphones and phones, including Android, iOS, BlackBerry, Windows Phone, Windows 10 Mobile, Symbian and Java. Later, the messenger had a web version known as the WhatsApp network. However, users did not like the service. Finally, WhatsApp Inc. has released the official Messenger WhatsApp for PC. nine0003
There are several ways you can install WhatsApp on your computer. The first and most popular method was to install WhatsApp using Bluestacks.
Apart from Bluestacks, there are several other Android emulators that allow you to install WhatsApp on PC using the Android WhatsApp application (.apk).
How to install the official WhatsApp Messenger for PC
The problem with installing WhatsApp and using Android emulators is that the application may not run as smoothly as on a smartphone. In addition, emulators are resource-intensive applications that require the smooth operation of the PC and its decent technical characteristics. nine0003
Now that WhatsApp Inc. released a standalone WhatsApp installer for desktops and laptops, eliminating the need for special Android emulators.
Installation of WhatsApp Messenger for PC
In order to use the official WhatsApp messenger on your computer, you need to do the following:
Step 1. Download WhatsApp for PC installer from official website. Download the WhatsApp 64-bit or 32-bit installer, depending on the bitness of your system.
The application is 61 MB in size, so you will have to wait for the download to complete. nine0003
Choose 64-bit or 32-bit WhatsApp installer and download to computer
Once downloaded, run the installer and the application will start installing. Unlike other apps, the WhatsApp installer will install right away and you won't need to do any extra steps. Once the WhatsApp app is installed, you may be asked to accept the terms.
Step 2. Now you need to scan the QR code shown in the WhatsApp for PC application using your phone's WhatsApp. nine0003
Scan the QR code using WhatsApp on your phone
Step 3. Open WhatsApp on your phone, click on "More" and select "WhatsApp Web". Turn your phone's camera to the PC screen and scan the QR code shown. This is necessary for data transfer and synchronization of both programs.
On the phone, select "Advanced" and click "WhatsApp Web"

Step 4.
If the QR code is validated successfully, your WhatsApp messages will be successfully synced to your computer. From now on, you can read and reply to all WhatsApp chats from your PC. nine0003
Synchronizing WatsApp data on the phone with a computer
WhatsApp for PC is a handy application that syncs WhatsApp messages from your phone to your computer. Thus, if you are working on your laptop, there is no need to constantly check your phone, as you can read messages and reply to them directly from your computer.
Important! However, the official WhatsApp Messenger for PC is still not perfect. To use it, you must have an activated WhatsApp account on your phone, and in order to receive messages, your phone must be connected to the same network as your computer. nine0115

Error message
When you open WhatsApp on your computer, you may receive an error message like the one below.
Error message when you start WhatsApp on a computer
This basically means that the computer is trying but not being able to connect to the phone. To fix this error, make sure your phone is connected to the internet. nine0003
Login failed. Problem with QR code
When setting up WhatsApp on your computer for the first time, you may encounter an issue such as "Login failed when trying to scan the QR code". This usually happens if the PC is unable to verify the QR code scanning process. To fix this error, make sure you are connected to the internet and your internet connection is working properly.
How to install WhatsApp on PC using WhatsApp Web
WhatsApp Web is a web version of the application and allows you to chat directly in the browser using a computer or laptop. WhatsApp Web does not require installation on a computer, so you are free to download and install the application. The WhatsApp website is not a standalone application, but an interface where WhatsApp messages from a smartphone will be synced to a PC.
Web version of WhatsApp Web
If you receive a WhatsApp message on your phone, the message will also be displayed on your computer. This is useful for people who don't want to use only their phone to check whatsapp messages. nine0003
This way you can view the message on your laptop screen and reply to it from your computer.
Important! The only requirement here is that you need to connect your smartphone to the Internet as well as to your computer. Without an internet connection, the WhatsApp website cannot sync messages from your phone.
Here's how to use the WhatsApp website on PC.
Step 1. Go to web.whatsapp.com . Select the "Remember me" checkbox. Open WhatsApp on your phone and select "WhatsApp Web".
Open WhatsApp on your phone and select "WhatsApp Web"
Step 2. You will see the scan code screen. Click OK.
Press "OK"
Step 3. Now scan the QR code from the WhatsApp web screen on your PC (do not scan the image below).
Scan QR code from WhatsApp web screen on PC
When the phone successfully scans the QR code, you will see your contacts and incoming messages displayed on the PC screen. As mentioned above, scanning is necessary for data transfer and synchronization, in this case it is a mobile application and its web version.

Select "Import one vCard file" and click "OK"
Select the vCard file you copied to the Bluestacks folder from your phone. Click OK and all your vCard contacts will be imported into Bluestacks Contact Manager. nine0003
If you open WhatsApp on Bluestacks again and update it, all contacts will appear in your WhatsApp contact list.

WhatsApp is the most convenient application that allows you to communicate from almost any device with Internet access. Although the chat was initially developed exclusively for phones, the increased interest of users in the application prompted manufacturers to implement the application on other electronic media, in particular, on a computer. It can even be installed on a laptop.
Learn how to start using WhatsApp on your computer in this article. nine0003
Benefits of WhatsApp for PC
Installing WhatsApp on your PC is just as free as it is on your phone, allowing you to use the following:
- receive and send messages;
- talk via audio and video;
- participate in group chats;
- exchange media files and messages;
- forward contacts and other features.
And all this on a big screen, using a convenient keyboard for messages and a high-speed Internet connection on a computer. nine0003
Where to download
There is an official site for the WA application. However, it is worth noting that only owners of the latest Windows and Mac operating systems will be able to install WhatsApp on a computer.
Ways to install
WhatsApp for PC.
For users of older operating systems, you can also enjoy chatting in WhatsApp from a computer by installing special utilities or using the official web version of the site.
Help: The installed WhatsApp application will function on a PC only if there is a mobile version on the phone in which your account is registered.
Operating system options for installing WhatsApp for free on a computer
Now it's time to learn how to install the American WhatsApp application on a computer in Russian, depending on the OS you use.
For each OS, we have chosen, in our opinion, the best and most affordable way to install. nine0003
Windows 10
The owners of this OS are lucky. They are available to install the WhatsApp application from the official developers of the application.
Instructions:
- Go to whatsapp.com (this is the official site of Whatsapp).
- Then find "Install" and click.
- Now install WhatsApp in Russian on your computer. You will need to select the 32 or 64 bit version.
- Then install the downloaded file following the instructions of the installer. nine0018
- Now launch the desktop version of WhatsApp. A QR code will appear in a new window.
- Now open WhatsApp on mobile.
- Follow the three dots in the upper right corner.
- Click "WhatsApp Web". The scanner will open.
- Scan the code on your PC with a QR scanner from your phone.
Detailed instructions can be seen on the video:
Windows 7
WhatsApp for Windows computers is not suitable for all OS versions. In particular, the “seven” belongs to the category of those operating systems for which the official WA application is not available. nine0003
You shouldn't be upset, because there is an option to use a special emulator (it creates an environment on a PC similar to the Android OS on a phone).
Help: with the utility, you can use the WhatsApp messenger on a computer on Windows 7 even when WA is removed from the phone.
We suggest you turn to the well-known BlueStacks emulator.
The installation process is as follows:
- On the official website, find and download the application installation file. nine0018
- Run the utility.
- Go through the authorization process of the Google account associated with the mobile phone that uses the WhatsApp account.
- Search WhatsApp.
- Download WhatsApp.
- Next, launch the WhatsApp messenger and scan the QR code that appears using your phone (see steps 6–9 of the previous section of the article for how to do this).
Attention: Using the messenger using the utility does not provide proper data security and loads the PC processor. nine0003
Windows 8
Windows 8, despite the appearance of "tens", today is also not considered an obsolete version of the OS, so feel free to open the instructions from the Windows 10 section and install WhatsApp on your PC with "eight".
Windows XP
For XP, you will have to use the instructions from the section on Windows 7. This version of the operating system is considered old, because the WhatsApp developers did not take care of creating a version for it. You will have to use the BlueStacks utility. nine0003
Linux
There is no desktop WhatsApp for Linux. Perhaps this is due to the low popularity of the operating system among users compared to competing systems.
However, on Linux, as well as on old Windows, it is allowed to install an emulator program or use a special messenger for Linux - Pidgin.
Help: you can communicate with Pidgin on several systems at once, for example, VK, Skype, Odnoklassniki, including WhatsApp.
- The program is native to Linux OS. However, if it is not installed on your computer, download it here and install it. nine0018
- Launch Pidgin and agree to the offer to add an account.
- Next, select the WhatsApp protocol in the block that opens and enter your account login and password.
Detailed instructions can be seen in the video:
Mac OS
Apple's WhatsApp product will only work on Mac OS 10.10 and later.
To start using the messenger on a PC:
- Download it from the official website (select the version for Mac in the "Install" menu column).
nine0018 - Double-click the downloaded file and follow the installer's instructions.
- Further, the algorithm of actions is the same as the procedure for Windows (see paragraphs 5–9 for Windows 10).
Installation with and without phone
Installation of WhatsApp for PC.
Installing WhatsApp on a computer is not difficult, but you won't be able to run it without a phone. The account in the messenger is tied to a phone number, and therefore to a mobile device with a corresponding SIM card. nine0017
In order to synchronize profiles on different devices, you will have to use a QR code scanner, which is only available in the mobile version of WhatsApp.
Working with WhatsApp Web for PC
A convenient way to communicate in messenger from PC is WhatsApp web on PC. Unlike other version options, this one is suitable for all operating systems. The main thing is the presence of the Internet.
How to activate your account:
- Launch WhatsApp on your phone.
nine0018 - We call the hidden menu by the ellipsis icon in the upper right corner.
- Further - "WhatsApp Web".
- On the WhatsApp website on a computer, you will see a QR code. Point the open scanner from the mobile version at it.
- Done! A messenger window will appear on the computer screen, which practically does not differ in functionality from the version on the phone.
Attention: WhatsApp web version does not support regular and video calls.
Web WhatsApp for PC. nine0003
Conclusions
To summarize.
There are three main options for using the WhatsApp messenger on PC:
- Official desktop.
- Emulator program.
- Web version of WhatsApp.
At the same time, the official desktop of the application is supported only by the latest Mac operating systems (from 10.10) and Windows (from 8), and for Linux there is an additional one, this is using the Pidgin utility.
