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.

1. Use WhatsApp On PC Without Phone Using BlueStacks

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.

1. Open Chrome or any other web browser on your Computer and go to bluestacks. com.

This basically means that even if your phone is switched off, you will be able to access WhatsApp on the (laptop) Web or desktop version.

Do keep in mind that users might witness some syncing issues in some situations, which WhatsApp is already working on a fix. The company says that your phone doesn’t need to stay online to use WhatsApp on linked devices, but your linked devices will be logged out if you don’t use your phone for over 14 days.
