Can Whatsapp be installed and used on desktop computers?

[Bagheera]

My mobile phone is a basic model. You know the one which doesn't support pictures or videos. Only text. I can't afford to buy the higher one. So I want to know. Can Whatsapp be installed and used on desktop computers?

If yes,

1. What are the additional hardwares required?
2. Whom to contact for the setup?
3. How much will be the initial investment and what will be the monthly cost?

I don't think so.

yes you can use whatsapp and almost all other android apps on ur computer or laptop.
For that you will have to download and install Bluestacks and you can use all the android apps on your computer.its free and easy to install. google for bluestacks for download link.

yes, you'll be able to use WhatsApp and most alternative automation apps on the urban center laptop or laptop computer.
For that, you just can have to be compelled to transfer and install Bluestacks and you'll be able to use all the automation apps on your laptop.its free and straightforward to put in. google for blues tracks for transfer link.

Just google for whatsapp jokes and 90% of what you get in whatsapp is covered. go to hoax-slayer.com or snopes.com and you get another 9%, which is 'please forward this to as many as possible'. The last 1% are meaningful messages and request your friends to send them to you by email.

go to web.whatsapp.com and scan the code using ur whatsapp app on your android phone.

No need of username or password. Once u are done with using that, use ur phone app to remove that computer from the accessible list.

Babu pai, he/she does not have an android phone, but a plain vanilla mobile.

i was also believing in divergence some time back. After my Sony K750i got stolen in 2008, i switched to a Nokia 1110 (Made for India) phone.

My take then was - 'Use mobile to talk, computer to browse, MP3 players for Music and camera for pix'

I just came across this site yesterday and @sgars pai, i do not think there is any desktop application that can provide the same utility as whatsapp app.
