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.
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.
3 Once the update or install has finished,you are given the option to either Open or Uninstall (should you prefer to remove it);you may not be able to remove a pre-installed version, if this is the case, you will need to drop into your device’s App Management settings and remove it manually. To continue, tap the Open button to launch WhatsApp.
4 The second method is to visit the WhatsApp webpage www.whatsapp.com. From here, you can tap on the supplied link that will redirect you to the Google Play Store and the previous steps. However, although it is unlikely, be aware that false websites could lead to you an infected version of the app.
