How to install and use WhatsApp on an Android tablet

If you want to enjoy this messaging app on your android tablet, let us tell you how you can do it yourself step by step.

WhatsApp has become a world leader in the world of instant messaging. Although it is one of the most widely used applications in the world for sending and receiving content, it has several limitations. One of them is its lack of a tablet app, at least officially. However, for Android, it is possible to use it by installing the mobile version or by accessing its website. Below we will tell you how to do it easily.

Installing WhatsApp via its installation file or APK on a tablet is possible. To download it, click on the download button below.

Once the download is complete, Install the app as usual. Start by pressing the Install button.

Then tap Open to launch the app. You can also use Done to exit and run it later.

Accept the terms and conditions of WhatsApp.

Finally, enter your phone number to link your account.

About this method, you should know two things. On the one hand, logging in on your tablet means that your account will no longer be available on other devices, including mobile. It is only possible to have WhatsApp on one device. Also, remember that you must have access to your phone to receive the verification message. This step is essential to complete the process.

Use WhatsApp Web on your tablet

Instead of installing WhatsApp, you can use the web version. To do this, access it using the URL web.whatsapp.com in your browser. Then open the main menu and tap Desktop Site. This way, you will trick WhatsApp to believe that you are connecting from a desktop computer.

Scan the QR code with your phone to link your account.

For faster access, open the browser menu and tap Add to the home screen. Thus, you will create a shortcut on the home screen.

Confirm by pressing Add.

The WhatsApp icon will now be available on the home screen.

This process also has its limits. They are as follows:

• You can only use one WhatsApp web session at a time. Therefore, if you access from your tablet, you will not be able to do the same from your computer.
• Although it is possible to receive notifications, they will only arrive if the browser is kept open.

On the contrary, using WhatsApp Web on your tablet has a clear advantage, you will always have access to your conversations from your smartphone. This way you will have WhatsApp on two devices at the same time.
