1. Download And Install BlueStacks

Download any Android Emulator which will allow you to run Android OS on your PC. We will use BlueStacks for this tutorial. You can use YouWave too. BlueStacks is a free application and gives you the exact Android experience. BlueStacks App Player supports Mac OSX, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8.

2. Searching The WhatsApp Application

Launch the installed BlueStacks App Player from the Start Menu or the desktop icon. After BlueStacks is launched, click the “Search” application and search for WhatsApp. The application will show no results as the application is not installed. Now below the search results, there will be a link to find the WhatsApp application on the Google Play Store. Click that link.

You can’t access the Google Play Store until you sign into your existing Google account or create a new one. This will then enable the AppStore and the App Sync functionality.

4. Verifying Your Phone Number

After installation, open WhatsApp. It will ask for your phone number and the country you are in. Type the phone number and choose your country and click the “OK” button. Now you will receive a message on the phone number you provided and the application will wait for 5 minutes to receive it.

Since WhatsApp is not running on your phone, the process of verifying the phone number will fail, the application will ask you to request for a call instead and give you a box to type in the code. You can type the code which you received in the message and that will verify your phone number.

Now you can add your name and it will automatically sync all your groups and new messages to the WhatsApp application.

5. Adding Contacts

Contacts can be easily added by tapping the three dots in the top-right of the application and then selecting “Contacts. This will then open the contacts app and then you can add the contacts as you normally do on any Android device.
