If you are looking for a way to use WhatsApp directly on the computer without using WhatsApp Web, you can find below the steps to Use WhatsApp on PC Using BlueStacks.
Use WhatsApp on PC Using BlueStacks
While WhatsApp has released its web version (WhatsApp Web) for using WhatsApp on computers, it still requires you to have a WhatsApp Account on a mobile device.
WhatsApp web basically creates a Mirror Image of your existing WhatsApp Account on Phone and it can be used only if you already have a WhatsApp Account on phone.
However, it is also possible to Create an independent WhatsApp Account on a computer and use WhatsApp on PC or Mac without having a WhatsApp Account on your iPhone or Android Phone.
This can be done by using an Android emulator called “BlueStacks”, which creates a mobile device like interface on the computer, allowing you to download and Install WhatsApp from Google Play Store on your computer.
