Yes, the notorious Chat app, owned by Facebook, can now be used on your Apple computer easily, just as with the popular iMessage for Mac. How to do that? Just install Chrome browser for Mac, open it and then go to web.whatsapp.com .

Here you will be able to connect and activate your Whatsapp account. Indeed, once the system has performed the “pairing/coupling” between your phone number and your browser, the “full experience” of WhatsApp is ready to go on your Mac desktop !

The smartphone will still be at the heart of your system, since the archive of conversations will remains there. However, thanks to the recent release of Whatsapp Web for Chrome, you can (finally) communicate through any computer safely (not only Mac but also any Windows Pc!) with all of your contacts. The only requirement is to download and install Chrome browser as explained before.

Installing WhatsApp on MAC through Bluestacks
Another option to install and use WhatsApp on a Mac desktop OS is to install a piece of software called Bluestacks. Here you can find the full procedure. However, to download the specific MAC Os Bluestacks version you must go first to this page. Once downloaded, run it and it will take you through the install process.

Once Bluestacks has installed, perform a search for “WhatsApp” (click on the “search” icon and digit “Whatsapp”). That should turn up the WhatsApp messenger app: simply click on and install it. Once WhatsApp has been installed, you’ll need to verify your phone number by entering it where required. Than you can import your contacts list and finally initiate any conversations by either chatting, calling, or emailing. Rembember: you can also connect your WhatsApp with your Facebook if you want to update your status and share contacts or media (video/photos) with your friends. Enjoy !

Whatsapp for APPLE – Quick and Easy Solutions

Whatsapp for AppleWhat version of Whatsapp do you need to for your Apple: smartphone, tablet or desktop ?

In this page I’ll give you a quick and simple guide to download & install Whatsapp for your Apple device:

 

How to (quickly) install Whatsapp on your Apple / Mac desktop
To install Whatsapp on a MAC you need Bluestacks. That’s it. Bluestacks is a software that “virtualizes” Android, allowing, therefore, to install and use Whatsapp as if you owned an Android smartphone (but actually running it into your Mac).

First step, download Bluestacks for Mac from this link. Then, open the DMG file you just downloaded and drag the icon into the Applications folder. Wait until the program completes the configuration (it takes about 2-3 minutes). When the Configuration is complete, in the upper right part of the windows click on the search button that will allow you to search for applications that can be installed on Bluestacks. Type “Whatsapp” and click “Find”.  A list of related applications. Find Whatsapp and click Install.

If you see the following error message: no apps found then check network connectivity and do not despair. Bluestacks is still in beta, and it is normal sometimes to see similar errors.

Now, to download Whatsapp follow these steps: From the main screen go the App Store, search for “WhatsApp” and choose “Download”. You will then be asked to create a Gmail account, or if you already have one, insert an existing one. Accept the terms of use, select “Accept & download” and wait for the installation to finish.

Now that you have installed WhatsApp, you have to configure it with the mobile phone number. Return to the main screen by selecting the icon of Bluestacks at the center of the bottom bar. On the main screen select “My Apps” and then, select Whatsapp to start the application. Accept all the conditions, enter your phone number and complete the “verification process”. This is it. Now, every time you need to start Bluestacks on your Macbook Air or Pro just go straight to “My Apps > Whatsapp” from the BlueStacks menu !

Another simpler (and easier option) to use Whatsapp on a MAC is to install the Chrome Browser for Mac (click here) and then connecting to the Whatsapp Web online service (click here) which allows you to manage Whatsapp directly from your browser. Done !
