This is where the WhatsApp cross-platform application comes in. What is it and how to work with it?

Capabilities

WhatsApp (read as "WhatsApp") allows you to send free messages, video and audio recordings over the Internet. You can also speed up meeting with friends by sending them your location address as a mark on the Google map. There is a function of creating a chat of interests and group communication. True, all these manipulations are possible only with those contacts who also use this application and have access to the Internet. The smart WhatsApp program will independently show a list of potential interlocutors from the phone book of the mobile device.

One of the undoubted advantages of this messenger is a very simple form of installation and registration, the process takes less than five minutes. Almost all OS support WhatsApp: Android, Windows Phone, Symbian, etc. It is also worth noting the beautiful design of the program. There are different options appearance pages: from strict and neutral to cute pink bunnies. In addition, this messenger, when used, allows you to more economically spend the device's charge than similar programs. For those who do not like words, provided a large number of "Smilies" and symbols on various topics.

disadvantages

The program is convenient only for those who have many friends, relatives and acquaintances from the contact list using it. If you don't know yet what WhatsApp is, then there is no point in understanding this to send one message a week, it's easier to send SMS or MMS.

Like all programs, the service is not devoid of minor flaws. For example, the messenger may freeze. It is also annoyingly long to send video messages and take a very long time to load when viewed. If you want to copy the correspondence and send it to the absent participant in the group chat, then it will be possible to do this only in single phrases, and not as a whole page. And finally, the biggest disadvantage: if a user has several devices, for example a phone and a tablet, then you can install WhatsApp only on one of them. Although the way out of this situation is obvious. It is enough to install another SIM card on the second device, having previously copied to it phone numbers, register an additional program account on its number and use both devices.

Now it's worth figuring out how to install WhatsApp using the example of various devices.

on smartphone

The process is very simple and almost the same for smartphones on different platforms. in the following way:

1. In the PlayMarket or AndroidMarket folder (on different phones it is named differently) you need to enter the name of the program in the search system or find it yourself in the "Free" - "Communication" category.
2. Download WhatsApp to your phone.
3. Go through a simple registration form (full name, email).
4. At the end of the work, an SMS message will come that this user becomes a member of the program.

For iPhone owners, the entire installation procedure is the same, the only difference is in the name of the store folder: AppleMarket or AppStore. Phone users can use Nokia Store to download WhatsApp for Nokia. Owners Nokia Lumia download this program required from MicrosoftStore.

What it is, and what convenience it provides, they can also find out after spending a little time. In order to install the program, you need a computer and iPhone with an Internet connection, an Apple ID account and the device itself, into which the program will be installed.

After sending the message, a check mark will appear next to it. This means that the delivery has been completed. The second checkmark will inform you about reading the message, eliminating doubts and unnecessary questions to the interlocutor. Also, it will not be difficult to create a group of several contacts for joint communication.

The design of the program is pleasant, made in light colors. It is possible to change the "wallpaper" - the background image of the message window by clicking on the additional options button in the upper right corner. You can set your current status, which will inform other users about what the owner of the device is currently doing: “available”, “busy”, “at work”, “at the cinema”, etc.

WhatsApp - what it is, many already know. It is a convenient and fun way to communicate with friends, which saves a significant amount of communication costs.

The program compares favorably with other messengers (for example, ICQ). The main advantage is that it remains active even when folded or closed. When the Internet is on, the user is guaranteed to receive the intended text message, picture or video.

Whatsapp is used all over the planet, the popular messenger is designed mainly for owners of smartphones and personal computers, which allows you to share files, music and impressions with friends and family. Among the users of modern communication methods, you can still find the owners of prehistoric mobile phones with mechanical input, which are used only for calls and as a player. The popular messenger has taken care of this category of the world's population. In our article, we will talk about push-button phones with whatsapp.

Having studied the market of mobile devices in more detail, you can find that most gadgets with mechanical input have the basic functions of smartphones. There are not many messengers left that support the development of versions for communication devices without touch screen. Full list gadgets supporting the program can be found by visiting the official website of WhatsApp.

Models with mechanical text input appear less and less at physical outlets in stores, but companies periodically re-release classic models making them a “new hit”.

3. RAM allowing you to work without glitches.
4. The presence of a camera.
5. An operating system of one of three types.

It is not difficult to install an application on a communication device (if a modification of the messenger for the gadget has been developed and installation is supported). When you try to download an application to a gadget that is not included in the list presented on the off. site installation will fail. A simplified version can be found not only on the messenger website, but also on third-party resources on the Internet.

Whatsapp is one of the popular instant messengers that appeared in 2009. It is mainly used on mobile and other platforms with video and voice support. The main competitors are Skype, as well as Viber and the increasingly popular telegram

Unsupported platforms

The well-known messenger WhatsApp is not 100% cross-platform, as the developers declare. For example, this application will not work on a stationary PC (namely the application), laptop, or tablet.

Moreover, the information on the application's website states that development of a version of the application for similar platforms is not expected in the present and near future.

How to determine if WhatsApp is supported on a device

The easiest way to check if your device supports this application is to go to the WhatsApp website and try to download and install the program on your device. You will be automatically redirected to the page where you can download whatsapp.

In case you are the owner of Android - this is the page Google play... Then you will find information in the description of the WhatsApp program that your device is not supported.

If you do not find such information, then you can start using free SMS, chats, information exchange.

In the case when you have a stationary PC and want to use the WhatsApp messenger on it, then there are more chances for this than tablets.

What is the reason

Many people who want to use this application have questions: why whatsapp is not supported on the tablet, is it possible to work around this problem.

One of the reasons why whatsapp is not supported on your android device, is associated with optimizing the application for interaction with the network. Therefore, it will not be possible to install whatsapp from Google Play on your tablet, which uses only a connection such as Wi-Fi and does not support GSM.

In a similar situation, you can download setup file WhatsApp from the developer site and install the app manually.

How to connect

In many ways, the reason why whatsapp is not supported on some devices lies in the restrictions imposed by the developers. But there are ways to get around them. Can whatsapp run on other devices?

On Android OS with file manager

You need to install instant messengers and games on a tablet or phone based on Android OS using the Google Play program. But the developer's policy provides for a different method of installation directly from the device.

How do we install whatsapp if the device does not support the application? For this purpose, we perform the following actions:

If there is a cache (archive with data) with vatsap, you need to install it as indicated in the description.

The files are located on the device, so we can disconnect it from the PC. Next, we make the steps:

If a message appears stating that the installation of programs from unknown sources is blocked for safe purposes, then click the "settings" function.

In this case, we will be transferred to the "security" department. We put a mark next to the option “unknown sources.

Then we press the function "install"

After installing the application, a message will appear on the monitor:

On Android OS without a file manager

Not every user has file manager... This is not the same problem as people think. To install an ARC file, you need to use a browser.

The step-by-step actions are as follows:

In this case, when you click on the file, the download is made. You need to click on the shutter, and in it click on the file again.

Some nuances

They concern several devices, the installation of whatsapp on which is somewhat individual. Among them are Nokia H8, Lenovo tablet and Samsung.

For Nokia

If Nokia H9 is an exclusive model based on MeeGo. However, whatsapp developers did not create a version that was supported on this model. But on Nokia H8 you can install a messenger.

For this:

• find the site where the offer of whatsapp installation for Nokia H8;
• connect the phone with a USB cable to the PC;
• transfer the downloaded file using third-party sites to the phone;
• disconnect PC and mobile phone;
• install the application.

Lenovo tablet and samsung

When installing WhatsApp on a Lenovo tablet, a number of nuances also arise. Due to the fact that you will not be allowed to download the messenger via Google Play, the download method will remain apk file from some site. Let's consider how to install whatsapp on a Samsung and Lenovo tablet. The algorithm of actions is similar.

Articles and Life Hacks

The popular messenger has become so firmly established in our lives that many simply cannot imagine without it.

Of course, except for those who are sure that Viber is still better, or prefer the old, not too kind, but still relevant Skype.

Therefore, there is often a desire to install it everywhere, up to washing machine and a smart vacuum cleaner so that you can always chat in a chat.

Jokes are jokes, but which ones support WhatsApp today?

iOS

In 2017, support for iOS versions older than 7 was discontinued. "Seven", according to the promise of the administration of the service, will be supported until 2020, but you cannot create new accounts on it.

Relevant minimal version at the time of this writing, iOS 8 is fully functional.

Android

In the same 2017, the service ceased to support android version to 2.2 inclusive. The build that can be used under limited conditions until 2020 is 2.3.7.

Moreover, it is stated on the official website of the messenger that tablets are not supported. The oldest version, for which full functionality is guaranteed, is Android 4.0 at the time of this writing.

Windows Phone

This operating system itself has become exotic, displaced by the joint pressure of "stubs" and "green bucket".

Accustomed to the dubious laurels of a monopolist on desktops and laptops, it shamefully lost to competitors and stopped even releasing new assemblies for smartphones.

So the end of its support until version 7 did not surprise anyone. The minimum operating system for today, on which you can install WhatsApp, according to the official resource, is Windows Phone 8.1.

Other operating systems

2017 turned out to be a dark year for many relics: the developers of WhatsApp dropped the "ballast" in the face of Blackberry OS, Symbian and Nokia S40.

However, for the latter, limited use is still available without the possibility of creating a new account and guaranteed operation of all functions. But already from January 1, 2019, this will not happen either.

In addition to the above rarities, the official website stipulates support for JiloPhone smartphones, which few people in Russia have heard of.

And it is not surprising - they are intended exclusively for the Indian market, it is impossible to purchase and use them outside of India.

Another antiques that WhatsApp is rumored to be running on is the Tizen operating system, Samsung's not-so-successful brainchild, which still hasn't died.

The plans of the companies did not include the release of smartphones on this OS, at least in 2018-2019, although their representatives assured, they say, perhaps someday in the bright future ...

Be that as it may, the official website did not even find any mention of this platform.

Desktops

You can use the messenger not only on mobile devices... Currently supported microsoft versions Windows 8 (32 and 64-bit) and MacOS X 10.9 or higher.

Finally

That is, in fact, all the exhaustive information on this issue: no java pipes, no Linux, bada, MeGo, LiMa and other miracle OS, which must certainly oust Windows and Android, and only the malicious intrigues of competitors prevented them from doing this.

But, in all honesty - is there a lot of hardware left on the same Android older than version 4?

And the Windows Phone fleet, according to statistics, among all users mobile internet is less than a percent!

The company's policy is absolutely logical - why create and maintain assemblies for those who are already guaranteed to be registered in the dustbin of history?
