WhatsApp is basically designed to be used on Mobile Phones with an active Phone Number. However, it is also possible to Use WhatsApp on PC without Mobile Phone.
There are multiple ways to use WhatsApp on PC or Mac, each method has its own advantages and disadvantages as listed below.
1. Android SDK: Installing and setting up Android SDK takes time and uses a good amount of resources on your PC.
2. Android Emulators: Android Emulators like “BlueStacks” or “Andy” create an Android like environment on your PC, allowing you to run Android Apps, including WhatsApp.
3. Third Party Software: There are some third party programs that are designed to run WhatsApp on PC. However, we are unable to recommend any of them as we haven’t tried any of these programs.
4. WhatsApp Web: Using the Desktop or Web version of WhatsApp is the official way to Use WhatsApp on PC.
However, this method still requires you to have a smartphone with an active WhatsApp Account running on it.
In general, WhatsApp Web is not an independent or stand-alone application, it only manages to duplicate or Mirror your Mobile WhatsApp Account on the larger screen of your PC or Mac.
Hence, in this guide we are making use of an Android Emulator called ‘BlueStacks’ to independently run WhatsApp on PC, without the need to have an WhatsApp Account on your Mobile Phone.
As mentioned above, BlueStacks creates a mobile phone like environment on your PC, which allows you to run Android Apps like WhatsApp on your PC.
So, the first step is to download & Install BlueStacks Android Emulator on your PC and then download and Install WhatsApp on your PC.

When it is installed on a computer, all its options function the same as on the phone. Almost everyone can install it on a computer. Although we are trying to learn how to get into WhatsApp without a smartphone, we will also look at how to enter this application using a phone.
I already wrote about the BlueStacks emulator in my articles, but now it's time to repeat it, because with it you can install Whatsapp on your computer without any barcode reading. At the same time, do not forget that not every person on a smartphone has a device that can do this.
In other words, enter your Google Play account. I think you already have it, so you need to enter your account. Click "Login";
Messenger (from the word “message”, “message”) is designed for more private communication, like SMS in a phone. WhatsApp is just such a program.
Its main functions and features:
The application works via the Internet, so with a modern phone and an installed messenger, you can always be in touch: at home, in the office or in the car.
Click on the "Allow" link;
Calls, SMS and MMS messages through a mobile operator always cost money, and if you need to contact a person on the other side of the planet, then the amount can simply be sky-high. Thanks to accessibility and ease of use, modern Internet communications are replacing such costly methods of communication.
WhatsApp is in the top 4 free messengers with high call quality. It has over a billion downloads. The program is successfully used all over the world, which makes it possible to quickly contact anywhere in the world, the main thing is that he has access to the network.
So, to run Whatsapp in the Web version, you need:
To check if the device is supported by the WhatsApp application and whether you can install the software on your smartphone, you need to go to the official application store.
Each operating system has its own application that is preinstalled on the smartphone and cannot be removed.
For smartphones on the Android platform, this is the Play Market.
For iPhones on the iOS platform - App Store (App Store).
For Windows phones - Microsoft Store.
In the app store, enter the name of the messenger in English or the Russian version - transliteration into the search box. The first app on the list with a tick icon will be the official app. Clicking on it will take you to a page with details. The first line is important, which contains the information of interest - whether the application is supported by the smartphone or not. If you can see the green "Install" button there, then the mobile device is supported. Otherwise, a message will appear: Your device is not supported.
The application is not officially supported by most older smartphones and tablets, regardless of the operating system.
All devices that meet the following requirements are supported:
1 or higher. and over time, this threshold will increase markedly. If you want to use the official Whatsapp program for PC, you need: installed the system, because the big green button downloads only the 64 bit version of Windows or Mac;
So, after you have launched this program, you need to scan the QR code again.
To do this, as in the first method, you need to go to the smartphone settings and open the Whatsapp Web application. This is especially true if you have a new version of WhatsApp installed on your computer.
After that, the software will start functioning on the PC. This version of the program contains all the options that are available on your smartphone. All information, as in the first method, will go to your computer.
I talked about three methods for installing Whatsapp on a computer. I hope one of them is useful to you. Good luck!

Among the many programs, it can be difficult to choose the most reliable and high-quality product. For example, earlier they used ICQ for communication, then Skype, Viber, Telegram and others appeared. Each application has its own advantages and disadvantages. Here's what makes WhatsApp different from similar products and other forms of communication:
If you call and write regular SMS there, you can go broke. 
Those who created WhatsApp and continue to improve it, took care of our convenience. All these features make this application one of the most popular in Russia and in the world.

1 Desktop version You can use WhatsApp not only with your smartphone. For users who find it difficult or uncomfortable to type on a small keyboard, the question arises of how to install WhatsApp on a computer without a phone. You will need a phone number, internet access, a PC or laptop and some time.
The emulator is a program that allows you to simulate the environment of an Android device on any operating system: Windows, Linux, MacOS. The most popular emulators are BlueStacks, Nox, MEmu, KoPlayer. You can install them for free using the official website or a trusted service.
With the help of these programs, it is possible to download applications developed for Android to a personal computer. You can register WhatsApp without a QR code and without the need to synchronize with the application on your smartphone.
To install WhatsApp using the emulator:
To use the WhatsApp emulator, you do not need a smartphone as such. All you need is a registered phone number. And it can even belong to a landline phone. In this case, select the call as the activation method. You can enter the profile by confirming the ownership of the number with an SMS code or a voice call.
The emulator does not require a mobile version to be installed.
There are 2 options for using the WhatsApp application on a computer without using an emulator. You can install the desktop version, developed by manufacturers specifically for stationary use, or use the browser version.
WhatsApp is available as a desktop version only for Windows 8.1+ or Mac OS X 10.10 and later. This method will not work if your operating system on your computer is older or Linux is installed. If the parameters are suitable, you need to go to the official website of "Vatsap" and in the "Download" section select your OS and bit depth.
The system will prompt you to download the download file and open it. It remains to wait for the installation of the program and after launching, scan the QR code to enter the system. To scan the QR code, you need to go to the WhatsApp mobile application in the menu or settings and select WhatsApp Web. A QR scanner will open, allowing you to access your account with all saved data.
If your computer software does not allow you to download the desktop version of the messenger and you do not want to download the emulator, there is an option to use the messenger in the computer browser via WhatsApp online.
To do this, you need:
This method has its advantages and disadvantages:
A working mobile application must be nearby with continuous access to the Internet. You can use WhatsApp without a phone, but registering in the application without a number will not work at all. WhatsApp web does not work without the messenger on the phone, so you need to take extra care of accessing the Internet.
You can choose the method that suits you as follows:
Using WhatsApp on a PC makes life easier for the user: communication, video, audio calls remain, but an additional degree of comfort appears.
The advent of mobile radio communications, in particular the cellular network, has proven to be a convenient innovation for people. Various areas related to the transmission of letters have been simplified, for example, ordinary mail, and pigeon has become a new sport. Now "carrier" pigeons are trained for competition, and not for transmitting small messages. In a regular SMS, which is supported by any cell phone, you can accommodate up to 140 Latin characters, as well as 70 Cyrillic characters. Given the instant sending and ease of use, this method turned out to be much more superior to the previous ones. The only drawback was that this service was not free and in the absence of funds on the account, the cell phone user could not send SMS.
Later, even more convenient means and tools for communication appeared, and most importantly, they were free, however, they required an Internet connection. Now there is a whole layer of applications that provide exclusively messaging services in various formats: text, audio, video, voice messages, graffiti, location, etc. One of the most popular, used by over a billion people, is WhatsApp, how to install it on a computer without a phone will be described in this article.
WhatsApp is quite a cross-platform messenger, it is available both on Android, Windows Phone devices and on iPhone smartphones. It can also be easily installed on a personal computer, be it Windows or Mac. In addition, there is a Web version, which differs little from the PC program.
However, to log in to WhatsApp on a computer, you need a camera to read the QR code. Unfortunately, there is no other way, which the messenger warns about.
That is, in the absence of a smartphone, the user simply will not be able to log into his account. For this reason, the only way to install WhatsApp on a computer without a phone is to use Android emulators. The best solution is an emulator that is not optimized for games, but is designed for testing and demonstration, such as Nox App Player or Genymotion. Since the second one is paid and more demanding on PC resources, Nox App Player will be used in the article.
The first step is to install the emulator itself. It is free and is in the public domain on the official website.
Installation is performed by the standard method: installer launch → license agreement confirmation → installation itself. By default, Android emulator version 4.4.2 KitKat will be used, since this particular release is one of the most stable and is still supported by many applications, including WhatsApp.
If all actions were performed correctly, Windows will display a corresponding notification in the lower right corner.
After that, the newly installed messenger should appear on the desktop, which you can start.
The case is small, it remains only to register or authorize, which consists in entering your phone number.
You should receive an SMS with a code. After confirmation, you can set a name for your account.
Now installed WhatsApp without a phone can be used as if it were installed on an Android device. This method will be slightly different from the PC version. If necessary, you can even change the orientation of the emulator to make the window wide horizontally, which may be more convenient to use on a computer.
In this video, I'll show you how to install WhatsApp without a smartphone on your computer, if you don't have one, but only an old mobile phone on which applications are not installed.
First we need the BlueStacks program to create a virtual smartphone, which we will use to install WhatsApp.
I talked about how to install this program in the video, where I installed the Viber messenger in the same way.
Well, that's all for today! Please write in the comments if you managed to install WhatsApp on your computer? If you have a smartphone, then you can not bother and easily install WhatsApp on your computer.

It's good when the explanation is clear and simple, for dummies like me. I have friends who do not use social networks, but they have WhotsApp on their smartphone, I have the opposite. I tried to install this application, but it doesn’t work without a smartphone, yes, and the explanations seem to be in simple words, but incomprehensible.
