I've seen Android tablets with WhatsApp in the past, but if they can find a way to prevent it from running on an Android tablet or in emulators, I bet they will do it. iPads have never been able to run WhatsApp.
Before you download the tool make sure you have: An internet connection (internet service provider fees may apply). Something else I've heard is that WhatsApp would like to make it impossible to install on anything other than a smartphone. Follow these steps to create installation media (USB flash drive or DVD) you can use to install a new copy of Windows 10, perform a clean installation, or reinstall Windows 10. On a Windows 10 PC, click on the entry to reveal the Uninstall button. Step 3: Look for the entry named WhatsApp. So, this is just a theory, but if WhatsApp, although already activated, is working in the background and notices you got a message from WhatsApp for activating WhatsApp with that phone number, WhatsApp on that phone may just claim that activation and make it impossible to use on another device. Step 2: Once the Settings app is launched, go to Apps > Apps & features page (Windows 10) or Apps > Installed apps page (Windows 11).
Normally when you set up WhatsApp on the same phone with the phone number that you use to register WhatsApp it will automatically detect the incoming text message and activate on that phone. I wonder if its something really obvious like needing to uninstall Whatsapp off my smartphone first, so it doesn't detect it as already logged in/paired with a phone?
