Using WhatsApp without a phone is not a standard feature of the app, as it is primarily designed for mobile devices. However, there is a way to use WhatsApp on your PC without scanning the QR code, which requires the use of an Android emulator called BlueStacks. Here is a detailed guide on how to use WhatsApp QR code without a phone:
Step 1: Download BlueStacks
Start by downloading BlueStacks from the official website. BlueStacks is an Android emulator that allows you to run Android apps on your PC. Once the download is complete, run the installation file and follow the on-screen instructions to install BlueStacks on your computer.
Step 2: Open BlueStacks App Store
After installing BlueStacks, open it on your PC. You will see an interface similar to that of an Android device. Look for the BlueStacks app store, which is pre-installed on the emulator. Open the app store by clicking on its icon.
Step 3: Search for WhatsApp
In the BlueStacks app store, use the search function to find WhatsApp. Type “WhatsApp” in the search bar and hit enter. From the search results, click on the official WhatsApp app.
Step 4: Download and Install WhatsApp
Once you click on the WhatsApp app, you will see an “Install” button. Click on it to start the download and installation process. The app will be downloaded and installed on your BlueStacks emulator.
Step 5: Setup WhatsApp
After the installation is complete, open WhatsApp within BlueStacks. You will be prompted to enter your phone number for verification. Enter the phone number you want to use for WhatsApp, keeping in mind that it should be a working number as you may receive a verification code.
Step 6: Verification
WhatsApp will attempt to send a verification code to the phone number you entered. Since you don’t have access to the phone, you will not receive the code. However, after a few minutes, WhatsApp will give you an option to verify using an alternative method. Choose the option to verify through a phone call.
Step 7: Verification through Phone Call
When you select the verification via phone call, you will receive an automated phone call on the number you provided. The call will provide you with a verification code. Make sure you have a pen and paper ready to note down the code.
Step 8: Enter Verification Code
After receiving the verification code, enter it into the WhatsApp app within BlueStacks. Once the code is entered correctly, WhatsApp will verify your number and you will be able to use it within the BlueStacks emulator on your PC.
By following these steps, you can use WhatsApp on your PC without the need to scan the QR code. It is important to note that this method requires an active phone number to receive the verification code.
