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.
