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.

Step 1. Download & Install BlueStacks App Player

The first step is to download BlueStacks App player on your computer, in order to create a mobile device like interface on the computer.

1. Open Chrome or any other web browser on your Computer and go to bluestacks.com.
