WhatsApp is one of the most popular messaging apps in the world, and it’s available on almost every platform out there. Unfortunately, Linux users have been left out in the cold when it comes to using WhatsApp.
But that doesn’t mean it’s impossible to use WhatsApp on Linux. With a few easy steps, you can get WhatsApp up and running on Linux.
Step 1: Install the Web App
The first step is to install the web app version of WhatsApp. To do this, open your browser and go to https://web.whatsapp.com.
Then click on “Get Started” and follow the instructions to set up your account. Once you’re done with that, you can start chatting away!
Step 2: Download a Desktop Client
If you want a more traditional experience, then you can download a desktop client for Linux. There are several different options out there, but we recommend Franz, which is free and open source. Franz allows you to add multiple accounts from different messaging services (like WhatsApp) into a single window.
Step 3: Install an Android Emulator
If neither of those options appeal to you, then your last resort is installing an Android emulator onto your Linux machine. This will allow you to run Android apps on Linux, including WhatsApp.
There are several different Android emulators available for Linux (such as Archon, Genymotion, and Anbox) so be sure to do some research before choosing one.
Once you have an emulator installed and set up, all that’s left is downloading and installing WhatsApp from the Google Play Store.
Conclusion: With these three steps, you should be able to get WhatsApp running on your Linux machine without any trouble. Whether you choose the web app version or decide to go with an emulator, using WhatsApp on Linux has never been easier!
