Posted on January 11, 2014 by Sam

While I would recommend you to simply go for Viber

instead, because its available for all operating systems;

Heres how to do it for whatsapp.

However, if the same number is registered to two

devices, Whatsapp doesnt like you accessing both

simultaneously.

Ive read, one at a time works fine.

username as the

phone number with country code ( as written above)

and password as the string we obtained earlier.

Use whatsapp on your laptop. (PS- Dont use it

simultaneously on your mobile)

Better still, use viber, and ask your friends to do the

same! : it has a desktop client.
