If you intend using your mobile number on another WhatsApp account on your smartphone, you’re going to need a separate number for the account on the tablet. When prompted to verify that number choose Call me, then enter the six-digit verification number you are told over the phone.Once installed you will see the usual WhatsApp setup process, which will require you to enter a phone number.Once downloaded you’ll see a notification appear at the top of the screen – tap this to begin installation.Select a site from which to download your APK file, then click through any prompts to download the file.

You should see results from the likes of APKMirror and APKPure.Exit the Settings menu and launch Chrome.


If you intend to use WhatsApp only on your tablet and not on your smartphone then that last point is moot, but if what you actually want is to access your WhatsApp account on both phone and tablet then an infinitely better solution is to use WhatsApp Web. To create a second account you need a second phone number, which most people won’t have, and then once set up your contacts won’t know through which account to contact you. But the main reason we wouldn’t recommend installing WhatsApp on your tablet is that you cannot use the same account as you do on your phone. So the process is not in itself difficult. You’ll have to allow your tablet the right to install apps from outside Google Play, and the app should then install exactly as it would on a phone. To install WhatsApp on a tablet, then, you simply need to source the WhatsApp APK file from the internet.
