Whatsapp for OLD Phones

Posted on by

If you’re reading this, then you are already aware about WhatsApp and its feature – but you may not be sure where to get it, or how to download it. The WhatsApp application is available both for Android users and iPhone users, so no matter what platform you’ve got (be it a smart phone, tablet or iPhone), it’ll be available in the Apple store and the Google store.

With that being said, there are no hidden tricks or schemes to download the app and immediately get it up and running on your phone or other device. As soon as you download the application onto your device, you’ll be able to send videos, images and voice notes, group chat, talk internationally, get offline messages, not have to deal with usernames and pin codes, stay logged in and have all your information from your phone (such as your address book) immediately transfer over if you give the app permission to have access to such. Whatsapp for old phonesIf you’re a returning user that has recently switched devices – have no fear! All your content doesn’t automatically have to be lost or given up. But if you have the choice, make sure that your device gets backed up or synched to your computer before you make the switch. If you don’t do this, which means that possibly all your contacts, videos, pictures, and chat logs will be erased permanently from your history.

If you’re an Apple iPhone (iPad/iPod) user that is upgrading your device or simply making a switch, you can back up and restore your device by using the iCloud, which is software that hosts backups and makes sure all the information gets saved. You could also turn to iTunes by syncing your device while it’s plugged in, transferring all your information. This also works for restores.

If you’re an Android user, all you have to do to get your chats back is log into the WhatsApp, click the menu button, scroll to settings, click chat settings and then click backup conversations. All you have to do next is transfer your External micro SD card into your new phone (this will only work if you have the folder located on your external microSD card). Next, download the app onto your new device and click restore. Keep in mind that you must have the same number that you had previously for this version to work.

Whatsapp for JAVA Mobile Phones – Jar Free

Posted on by

WhatsApp is the most famous instant messaging App that allows users to quickly and easily exchange text, audio and video messages for free. Whatsapp is “multi-platform”, which means it can virtually run on any telephone, smartphone or even tablet whatever OS is installed.

Indeed, even if you have a mobile phone, smartphone or simply a Pc/Mac program running Java you could be able to install and run Whatsapp, without Android, iOs or any other intermediary platform (like Bluestacks). Recently a group of advanced Italian programmers created “[TuttoJava]WhatsApp”, a proprietary whatsapp-para-javaversion of Whatsapp made to run smoothly on the majority of Java mobile and smartphone and you can download, for free, from this page.

As you probably already know, the java version of Whatsapp is usually available for mobile phones with Symbian operating system, while for everyone else there are solid alternatives, always in java, that you could use instead of WhatsApp, like Qute Messenger and Kik Messenger. It is important to emphasize that proprietary operating systems are becoming increasingly obsolete and therefore, over time, become increasingly difficult to find java compatible programs for with these phones. Our advice is if you really want to use popular apps for smartphones like Whatsapp, then maybe it’s time to better evaluate the purchase of a new phone with Android or iOS.

Somebody tried also to download and install the ThWhatsApp_Messenger.jar and WhatsApp_Messenger.jad files but 90% of the time without success. The important thing to note is that you need to download those Java files first directly to your PC, then to your phone.

Whatsapp is one of the best apps you can have for your phone. It is easy to update and to use and allows you to never miss the chance to communicate with your friends. Whatsapp is also increasing the number of OS version to be compatible with, like the most recent Whatsapp+(plus) for Chrome, so remember also to simply check for your phone and OS version on the official Whatsapp.com website, to see if this or any other specific Java version will be available in the future.

Whatsapp for FacebookCool WhatsApp Tricks for Facebook

If you’re planning on using the Whatsapp application via Facebook, these handy tips and tricks can make your experience a lot more convenient and useful. There are several handy tricks associated with using the mobile messaging app.

You can conceal the time stamp that indicates when you were “last seen.” The app automatically displays users’ “last seen” times. If you want additional privacy and don’t want other people knowing the exact time you last used the app, you can hide that info by disabling it. If you use IOS, the process is a piece of cake. Click on “settings” and then go into advanced chat settings. Finally, ensure that you select the “off” option for “last seen timestamp.” If you use Android, download a third party application to accomplish this task.

The application “HideWhatsAppStatus” generally works well for this purpose. If you get this application, it will conceal your data connection and WiFi as soon as you get into WhatsApp.

Users of WhatsApp can also easily lock these applications. If you’re concerned about people you know (siblings, friends, etc.) snooping and looking at your WhatsApp comminications when you’re not around, you don’t have to be. If you use this app via a Blackberry or Android, you can get an app that can conveniently lock up all of your private WhatsApp messages. People with Blackberry devices can opt for the application “Lock Out WhatsApp” while people with Androids can select “WhatsApp lock.”

If you wish to prevent pictures from WhatsApp from showing up on your camera roll or in your photograph gallery, you can easily accomplish this, too. If you use IOS, visit the privacy section in settings and go to “photos.” Once you’re there, make sure that you select “off” for WhatsApp. If you use Android, proceed by making a “.nomedia file” in the app’s video or photo directories. You can handle this as long you have a file explorer like ES File Explorer. Go to your video or photo folders, then select the “new” option which is located in the lower bottom area. Then select “file.” Make a file called “.nomedia.” This will prevent your gallery from picking up on the folder.

If you want to get a brand new phone number on WhatsApp, there’s an easy trick for that. If you’ve got a new number but still have the exact same phone, reinstallation isn’t at all necessary for number changing. All you have to do is go into the application’s settings. A setting exists that allows users to move their accounts to brand new numbers, simple as pie.

People who adore statistics will enjoy getting WhatsApp message details. These stats can be accessed if you use Android. If you appreciate learning about how people you know use the app, you’ll love this trick, too. If you want to find out when your buddies are most active on the app, this application will let you know. If you want to determine your biggest WhatsApp pals, it will do the same for you. Simply view the app’s convenient “message distribution” and “conversation starter” sections in settings, for example.

Whatsapp for iOS

Posted on by

whatsapp_ios7WhatsApp Messenger is a mobile messaging app available for iPhone and other smartphones. WhatsApp uses your 3G or WiFi (when available) to send and receive text messages, pictures, audio notes, and video messages with friends and family. The default version of Whatsapp for iOS is available from the Apple iTunes store, but what about the others iOS desktop/Mac users? Is it possible to download and install Whatsapp on your Mac iOS laptop? Yes but…

A WhatsApp emulator for iOS – Mac through… Android!
It’s called BlueStacks and is available from summer 2012: Bluestacks App Player makes it possible to run Android apps on many operating systems such as pre-existing MAC iOS. Simply download and install this software from this page to have a valid Whatsapp version running on your Mac desktop computer. Once downloaded, this emulator can be installed and run as on your iPhone or smartphone. However, to download the Android version, you must create a valid Google account to download it from the Play sotre. As happens on  iOS and Android mobile phones (but we should remembered that WhatsApp works also with Blackberry, Symbian, Nokia S40 and Windows Phone), the application must be validated by entering a valid mobile number.

Using Whatsapp application for iOS
MAC (iOS) users will notice that it isn’t exactly the same the same as other OSes. The Apple IOS will have its own set of menus, tips and tricks that can be completed on the IOS that is fairly different from the Android, Blackberry and Windows based OS systems. There are numerous tips that you should know when using the IOS version of Whatsapp to ensure that you get everything out of your Whatsapp application.

Disabling Your Last Seen Timestamp
On the application users are notified of the last time that you were on the application but sometimes a user wants to remain private. Using your IOS version of Whatsapp there is a way to hide this particular timestamp from being seen by others on the application.

  • Go To Settings
  • Tap on Chat Settings
  • Tap Advanced
  • Turn Last Seen Timestamp from On to Off

This disables the ability for other users to see when the last time you were on the application which allows you to have privacy and be hidden when using the application.

Backing Up Your Chats
Many users may use the application and accidentally delete a message that was important without the ability to retrieve the message. Backing up your chats will allow you the ability to never fully lose or permanently delete your chats. In your IOS version of Whatsapp there is a way to turn on this setting.

  • Go To Settings
  • Tap on Chat Settings
  • Tap on Chat Back Up
  • Tap on Back Up Now

This option will save all your chats to your SD card on your device to ensure that every message you are involved in will be saved.

Stop Whatsapp Images From Being Saved In Your Gallery
When receiving images on Whatsapp the pictures will automatically save into your gallery. Some people do not wish to have this option activated so there is a way to turn this off.

  • Go To Your Device Settings
  • Go To Privacy
  • Slide Whatsapp from Green to White to disable

Again, regarding iOS, what about installing WhatsApp on the latest beta of iOS 8? Well, it’s almost impossible. The latest Beta 4 of the Apple operating system was released only Monday but many people are still reporting problems on this messaging app, as it happened before in the previous three Betas released in the past. WhatsApp on iOS 4 Beta 8 doesn’t work very well. The application crashes, the conversations’ history can be lost and more generally there are delays in receiving and sending messages to and from contacts and friends.

A solution to the problem? For now, no, and I do not think it will be available before a final release of the firmware in September. The incompatibility also in the latest beta of iOS 8 will perhaps not be eliminated in any of the future provisional firmware releases. WhatsApp developers will probably need to adapt their application of the operating system that will be released within two months.

In the past I criticized the bugs of iOS WhatsApp and the work of Apple, assuming that  iMessage was the root of these problems. Surely the two messaging applications (Whatsapp and iMessage) are very similar, and promote the use of Apple software rather than those of competitors (like others Facebook app). Certainly WhatsApp will work perfectly on iOS released in September, but in the meantime for all those who are testing this Beta of the new firmware, iMessage it’s the only app working correctly !

WhatsApp for BLUESTACKS

Posted on by

WhatsApp For BluestacksBlueStacks is a service that allows individuals to play and watch content from their mobile device on a larger screen, such as a computer.

Sometimes it just is not possible to view everything on the smaller screen of a mobile device, so connecting and syncing the information from the mobile phone is a good idea. Now, if you are looking at using your WhatsApp on BlueStacks, it is helpful for viewing video and images, not to mention texting if you are working on your computer and you do not want to constantly check your different screens. In order to get this to work, you need to install a few different applications.

First, you need to install the WhatsApp application onto your mobile device. WhatsApp is able to run on any major operating system, such as Android, Windows, iOS and BlackBerry. You need to head to the specific application store on their mobile device, type in “WhatsApp” into the search field, then download it and install the device onto you phone. Once WhatsApp is installed onto your phone, you need to launch the application, then type in your phone number into the requested field and have the device search over all your current contacts in order to find ones that also are using WhatsApp on their own devices.

With WhatsApp installed on the phone, the BlueStacks application needs to be downloaded and installed onto the users phone. Again, you just need to head on over to your App Store, type in “BlueStacks” and have it download and install onto the device. It is free to use, so you shouldn’t have much of a problem downloading and installing it.
blue-stacks-ccbig-11275630
With BlueStacks now running on your mobile device, head over to BlueStacks.com on your computer. There is going to be a different download link based on what computer operating system you are using. There is a Mac OS X download link, and there is a Windows download link. You can use any version of Windows dating back to XP. After you have clicked the download link and it has finished downloading, launch the downloaded file and follow the installation prompts in order to complete the installation process.

With everything installed, launch the BlueStacks program on your computer, followed by the BlueStocks application on your mobile device. Make sure you have the Bluetooth feature enabled on both your mobile device and on your computer system. You can access this on the menu of both your phone and your computer. The devices are going to connect together and the BlueStacks software on your computer is going to ask if you want to mirror the content onto the computer.

Select the “Yes” option and whatever is on your mobile device is going to appear onto the computer screen. With it running properly, head on over to the WhatsApp icon on your mobile phone and launch it. You can now view WhatsApp on your computer screen, look at received photos and videos, plus you can view the text messages on the larger screen.

Whatsapp for CHROMEBOOK

Whatsapp for chromebookMaximize the Power of WhatsApp on Chromebook

WhatsApp is an efficient and popular cloud-based messenger service that allows users to exchange messages, video, audio, and pictures for free. The revolutionary laptop system, Chromebook, allows users to install and use WhatsApp seamlessly – giving Chromebook users the ability to access this cutting-edge mobile technology. Chromebook users who have WhatsApp installed are able to use the messaging service to chat in one-on-one and group sessions. Some WhatsApp users may find themselves in groups that include strangers and may not want unknown group members to view their messages.Fortunately, WhatsApp gives users the ability to block messages from unknown group members in addition to blocking them from seeing profile pictures and status information.There may be times when Chromebook/WhatsApp users may desire to send a public message without displaying all of the names in the recipients list. Just like mobile users Chromebook end-users can send messages utilizing BCC (blind carbon copy) functions – essentially masking the recipients list and making each message appear individualized.Chromebook users can utilize many functions granted to mobile WhatsApp users including the ability to disable default time stamp data which tells other WhatsApp members the last time a user was online.People who use WhatsApp on Chromebook also have the ability to manually and automatically schedule backups of WhatsApp chat sessions and media files. Users can restore archived files only after uninstalling and re-installing the app followed by uploading the archived file. In the modern era most people are tech savvy, so security for WhatsApp users should always be on the forefront to ensure user privacy is not violated.

Fortunately, WhatsApp provides security options that Chromebook users can utilize which include locking WhatsApp on an open Chromebook laptop, and only making it accessible by entering a password or pin number. Not all Chromebook/WhatsApp users are equal. Some use WhatsApp periodically with only a handful of contacts while others use it frequently with dozens, and in some cases, hundreds of contacts/friends. To speed up communication, WhatsApp users can create shortcuts to their favorite contacts, or to their favorite groups, so they can quickly send targeted messages from their desktop without manually opening WhatsApp.

Sometimes people are faced with the need to change their phone number. Fortunately, WhatsApp users are not required to uninstall and re-install the messaging service to use a new number. Users can access a setting in the app to migrate an existing WhatsApp account with a new number which allows them to keep their account information, media files, and chat history intact.

Many messaging systems have similar features like displaying the time and date stamp of a delivered message. However, unlike WhatsApp, they don’t typically display the exact time a message was opened. This inherent feature of WhatsApp also works seamlessly with WhatsApp groups by displaying the time-and-date stamp of messages opened by individual group members. WhatsApp on a Chromebook platform is a powerful tool that enables Chromebook users to have the same messaging capabilities as mobile phone users.
