How To Run Whatsapp On The Computer?


WhatsApp needs no prior introduction. It’s so-far the most used and the most popular instant messaging application, for mobile operating system’s out there. What makes WhatsApp so popular is the fact that it’s a cross-platform messaging application, and that you don’t need to create any specific account, in order to use WhatsApp.  All you need is the mobile phone numbers of you and your friends.
The only limitation or disadvantage, that could be pointed out of WhatsApp was that, it has no desktop software or desktop client. Hence, you need a Smartphone with WhatsApp support in order to use the application.
Well, that would no more be a barrier   . Because, now you can use WhatsApp on the computer. Even though there is no official WhatsApp Desktop-App, you can use WhatsApp on the computer with the help of a third-party software called “BlueStacks“.
Blueshacks is not an exclusive WhatsApp Client for Windows. You can run any Android application on Windows computers using the BlueShacks software.
