GETTING STARTED, INSTALLATION & BASIC USE
1
The first and more obvious installation
method is to tap the Play Store icon on
your phone, and in the search bar along the
top, enter: WhatsApp. Tap on the correct
search listing, the one with the WhatsApp
logo next to it (it’ll be listed as WhatsApp
Messenger), and you’re taken to the relevant
page on the Google Play Store.2
With the WhatsApp page on the Play
Store open, tap on the Install button and
the process will begin. Some phones already
have a version of WhatsApp preinstalled
by the manufacturer. You will know if yours
is one such device as the display shows
Update and Open buttons. From here it’s
recommended to tap Update.Installing WhatsApp
on Android
Installing WhatsApp on to your Android phone is, thankfully, a
straightforward process. There are two ways in which you can
install the app, we cover both here.
