WhatsApp is popular free messaging client which is available for iOS, Android, Nokia and Blackberry, but still we have no client for Windows PC officially released by the WhatsApp team. Well you can imagine having WhatsApp on your PC and how fast you will be able to send and receive text messages as you always be on one device so you can handle everything right there. So we found an unofficial client which is supposed to be a dummy version of Android running on your PC.
Whatsapp is one of the most popular cross-platform
messaging app
available across iOS, Android, Blackberry & Symbian S60 platforms. And these phones can message each other irrespective of which OS they are running (unlike the hugely popular BBM which only works acrossBlackberry devices). Because WhatsApp Messenger uses the same internet data plan that you use for email and web browsing, there is no cost to message and stay in touch with your friends.
In addition to basic messaging ─ iPhone, Android, Nokia and BlackBerry WhatsApp Messenger users can send each other unlimited images, video and audio
media messages.
But in case you don`t have a data plan on your mobile or want to chat with long texts , then you definitely wish you could use it on your laptop or PC. While there is no official WhatsApp application available for Windows PCs , you can still use it by applying a workaround thanks to
TrNaSe
from XDA-developers. Lets have a look at how to do that and get chatting with your friends in minutes:
