Basically, WhatsApp is made to be used on mobile devices with a working phone number. WhatsApp may also be used on a computer without a smartphone, though.
Use WhatsApp on PC Without Mobile Phone
There are several ways to use WhatsApp on a PC or Mac, and each one has pros and cons that are detailed below.
1. Android SDK: Installing and configuring Android SDK needs a lot of resources on your PC and takes some time.
2. Android Emulators: Android emulators like BlueStacks or Andy create an environment similar to Android on your PC and let you run Android apps, including WhatsApp.
3. Third-Party Software: A few third-party applications are made specifically to run WhatsApp on PC. Since we haven’t used any of these programmes, we are unable to endorse any of them.
4. WhatsApp Web: The official method for using WhatsApp on a PC is to use the desktop or web version of the app.
You still need a smartphone with an active WhatsApp Account to use this method, though.
Generally speaking, WhatsApp Web is not a standalone or independent application; it only mirrors your mobile WhatsApp account on the bigger screen of your Computer or Mac.
As a result, in this post we will show you how to run WhatsApp on your computer without a mobile device using an Android emulator called BlueStacks.
1. Use WhatsApp On PC Without Phone Using BlueStacks
As was already said, BlueStacks simulates a mobile phone environment on your PC, enabling you to run Android applications like WhatsApp.
