Running Whatsapp on PC or Mac
Today we’ll be showing you an easy guide on how you can easily run world’s most popular cross-platform messenger app called Whatsapp in your Windows 7/8/XP device or Mac Computer. Previously we talked about installation of Whatsapp in PC using Android Emulators which are quite heavy like Bluestacks. But with the latest updates, Whatsapp has came out with an additional feature called Whatsapp Web. We don’t need to install Android in our PC or any Android emulator for this, instead we’ll need a Web browser to run Whatsapp and use it via PC.
