Tutorial to install WhatsApp on an Android tablet without being root

whatsapp android

Many of us have two mobile devices at home: a smartphone and a tablet. The fundamental difference between them, beyond size, is the calling capacity of the phone and the applications derived from it. Sometimes when we are on the tablet we would love to be able to use them. Today we want to tell you how to do it with one of the most famous. Here goes a tutorial to install WhatsApp on an Android tablet without being root.

Yesterday we talked about a solution for instant messaging on tablets that is giving a lot to talk about and that was presented as a alternative to dominator. LINE is a great solution, but few people use it. The idea of ​​this tutorial is to be able to bring the phone and the agenda to the tablet and then install WhatsApp. Some devices do not work but here is a list of where it has worked.

Download Go Contacts EX and install it on our tablet.

This can be done directly from Google Play on your tablet. Some will tell you that it is not compatible. So we need an Android phone and download the app App Backup & Restore. You download it here. Once installed on the mobile, you go to the tab Installed and select the Go Contacts EX application. Then in App Backup & Restore we go to the section Archived and we select with the finger pressed Go Contacts EX and we give it Send. Then, we choose an email that we will access later from the tablet. On the tablet, we enter that email, download the file and install it.

Download WhatsApp and install it on our tablet

Again, we can do it in Google Play, but in some cases it will tell us that our device is not compatible. Again the option of the smartphone with App Backup & Restore is necessary.

Once on the tablet, we configure it with our mobile number. It will require us a Verification code that we will receive by SMS on our mobile. We enter that code and it is done. Then we just have to look for the contacts in Go Contacts EX and link them to WhatsApp.

As always, note that this procedure is done at your own risk, but it is good to know that it is risk-free in our opinion.

    Hello, a simpler way is to download the apks from go contacs and whatsaap (found on the internet), put them on the sd card of the tablet, and run their installation.
    NOTE: install Go Contacs first

    Hello, I have a samsung galaxy player 3.6 and when installing whatsapp the message that "this application is not available in tables" appears. Well, I have normally installed go contact ex on my device, all my contacts have appeared, then I have installed whatsapp and I get the same message "this application is not available in tables". What I do?

  19.   Aaron doyle said

    That sounds very complicated, I went to another page to install whatsapp on my galaxy tab 10.1 p7500, you just have to download the app from the same page whatsapp.com and install it normally as one more application to android!, Do not be putting all kinds of steps that you say is only to install whatsapp because it discourages a lot of words and little action

    I have had the WhatsApp on a Samsung Galaxy MP4 and a few days ago I forced myself to update, and since that day when starting WhatsApp it gives an error and warns that it is not compatible with a tablet.

    If it can be installed, it is very easy, you just have to download the application on a pc (the .apk) then you spend it plugging your tablet as if it were a USB or as you like. You install it and ready you confirm it with your cell phone at hand. The only problem that I have found is how to use WhatsApp on both computers at the same time (cell phone and tablet)

    1.    Comfort said

      You can use it by configuring in the Tablet with another phone number that you can get for free in Fon you

    If it works but the easiest thing is to just install App Backup & Restore both on the tablet and on the device with Android system, you must follow the steps as indicated to install Go Contacts Ex.
    When you open the file from your email to install in the option on the right, at first it will say that it is not compatible for tablet but you continue with the installation, when you have to choose the Country it will not give you the option of Mexico so you will have to enter the code and it will automatically appear ... from there it will allow the registration and configuration of whatsapp 😀

    If you have a Dropbox account, and you have the application installed on your mobile and tablet, you can make a copy of your mobile contacts, import them to Dropbox, and open it on the tablet. The rest of the installation would be the same as in the previous tutorial. It's fast and it works. 100% tested.
