Step 1:

Download Thin BlueStacks App Player

To use WhatsApp on a PC or laptop, you need to install an Android emulator called BlueStacks App Player. There are Two Versions of BlueStacks App Players: Normal BlueStacks App Player and Thin BlueStacks App Player. There are many people facing issues while installing the normal BlueStacks app player, so I suggest you download and install the thin BlueStacks app player.

Step 2:

Install Thin BlueStacks App Player

While installing, make sure the installation drive has more than 2 GB of free space; otherwise, you will be getting an error like below (see screenshot 1). If you get any graphics or driver-related warning message, ignore it and select OK. Refer to screenshot 2.
