The instant messaging phenomenon is still booming, and although Whatsapp Currently, it has a tough competitor in the case of Telegram, in reality we find that we can still get a lot out of what for now continues to be the preferred messenger in all operating systems, including Android, which is the one that interests us. in Androidsis.
However, precisely the way WhatsApp works, which obligatorily associates user accounts with a mobile phone number, makes it difficult to use it on Android devices that do not have a 3G connection, as in the case of tablets and smart players. that despite having all Android functions are not mobile terminals. And today what we are going to do on our blog is explain to you in a step-by-step tutorial how to download Whatsapp for Android tablet without SIM.
How to install WhatsApp on an Android tablet with only WiFi
- The first thing we have to do to be able to install Whatsapp on a WiFi-only device like a tablet is precisely to have a contact book that simulates a mobile terminal. One of the best options, completely free and compatible with most Android versions, is Go Contact EX. So the first thing we must do is download this utility on the device on which you want to install the messenger. You can download it from the developer's page here.
- Now, and in case you haven't done it yet, download from Google Play the latest version of Whatstapp compatible with your Android tablet as usual. If you are new and do not know how to carry out the process, I invite you to consult our tutorial on downloading apps on Google's operating system.
- Once WhatsApp has been installed on the device, we proceed to launch the application.
- On the first screen WhatsApp will ask you for a phone number to register. In this case, you will have to use a mobile terminal that you own that is not already registered for another device. But if you don't have another, or you prefer to connect two Android devices at the same time with the same WhatsApp number, we have also explained how to do it in another tutorial Androidsis which you can access in the previous link.
- Now WhatsApp will send you a message to the phone number that you have registered as such with a 6-digit pin.
- Upon receiving it, you must enter it in the WhatsApp access screen of your Android tablet.
- Now wait for the whole system to load. If everything went well, you should have WhatsApp working on your Android tablet only WiFi and access to the entire contact list of your device which you can modify from the application that we recommend in step one of this tutorial.
The communication possibilities with this tutorial to install WhatsApp on a WiFi tablet they increase considerably for the user, who also enjoys in this case the native messenger application avoiding the stability problems presented by clones or unofficial versions for devices without 3G. In addition, the fact that you can use the same phone number on your smartphone and on your tablet makes things easier by not needing an extra number that your own contacts do not have and that could cause problems when adding you as a user for conversations.
Have you tried using WhatsApp for Android on WiFi-only devices? How is your experience? Have you used unofficial formulas so far to have WhatsApp on your tablet?

Everything in this supposed tutorial is false.
We start with the fact that being a tablet, WhatsApp does not come out when you search for it (as it is not compatible). Or if you search for it on Google Play through a PC to install it on the tablet, it tells you that your device is not compatible, and will not let you install it
And if you get the .apk on the other hand, when you install it on the tablet, during the configuration process it detects that it is a tablet and does not let you continue.
Hello !!! I'll tell you that I bought an Android tablet for my son, and beyond that at the beginning it does not let you install it because it says they are not compatible, I managed to do it by downloading the GO Contacts EX application, I hope it works for you, it cost me but it works perfect ; Even at a time when you are configuring it, you get a legend that I do not remember well but as if telling you that you will not be able to configure it I put ok, and it is installed and working .. It is a Commodore tablet with Android 4.1, greetings
It is not false. It works. If you don't know ask.
Hello Petiso:
If the download does not work for you, you can download WhatsApp from Aptoide, an alternative market. You will get the same message that you cannot download, but if you click ok, it will install it anyway. I hope I have helped you because you probably want to have WhatsApp on tablets like many other users.
Regards!!
GOOD NIGHT GREETINGS, THANK YOU CRISTINA. THIS IS THE MOST ACCURATE AND CERTAIN METHOD, I FOLLOWED YOUR INDICATIONS AND INSTALLED IT ON MY TABLET WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM AND IT WORKS PERFECTLY.
On my tablet, it lets me install without problems, but it detects that it is a tablet (Galaxy Tab2) and it does not let me continue ... the Telegram instead works like a charm
Zack, I also have a galaxy 2 and it does a good thing that I want to install telegram, how do you do it? and don't tell me I need another phone or number because I don't have a compatible one to use, just my tablet
Hello Petiso,
I have had WhatsApp for more than 6 months on my 7-inch android tablet which is a Titan 7023. (The specifications are nothing to write home about) It works wonderfully.
You will not be able to download the WhatsApp application from the Android Market, you will have to go to http://www.whatsapp.com/android/

Uyyyy that I have deleted the comment !! It wouldn't be to name Telegram, right?
Your comment has not been deleted. In fact it's right under mine first. In androidsis we do not censor. If you like Telegram, we are happy and your opinion is always welcome.

Hi, I have installed WhatsApp on a normal tablet with Android since my mobile had its own OS and it did not allow me to install it (it is an old LF). I used the mobile number, as when typing in the codes they sent you it didn't work, I had them call me to tell them and then I could enter them.
What I was going to. On the tablet, of course I have no contacts, and it was very good for me so that those who do not want to, do not know that I had WhatsApp. In fact, not having the contacts, the names do not appear, only the phone numbers. But, somehow, WhatsApp has informed people who have my mobile that I already have WhatsApp and they have started to send me messages. As I do not have contacts on the tablet, some do not even know who they are….
How have they been able to find out if the tablet has no contacts?
Greetings, thanks and sorry for the billet ...
Hello Fernando:
WhatsApp has not informed your contacts. The fact is that they do have your mobile number on their agendas. And that's why, when you access their WhatsApp application, you appear there as a contact and they can talk to you.
You do not have contacts as it is a tablet, but if you download the app that we discussed at the beginning of the tutorial, you can have a contact list like the one on your mobile, and thus put names and surnames.
I hope I've been helpful
Regards!!!
WhatsApp should respect more the privacy of users. It's like Cristina says 🙂 Greetings.
Good
If you can, in fact, I have it installed on a motorola xoom wi-fi, you download the apk, and send it to the tablet through the AnySend app, you just have to be connected to the same wi-fi network to send it, which I can't is to pass the number verification process.
Hello
Hi, hey, I have a TV with android and I downloaded the app but it asked me for a number.
Thanks for the answer, but I still don't know how it appears to others that I have WhatsApp installed, if it is really installed on my tablet, where there is no contact. The contacts are on the mobile, which is not Android nor does it have WhatsApp.
Regards!
Fernando, in the same way that you can see that your friends / contacts have whatsapp they can see that you have it too.
Hi, he wouldn't let me enter the verification number from the web, but after the verification time, I got the option to call me on my mobile number by spelling out a code that I had to put in some boxes. I said yes and received an automated call repeating the code. I put the code in the boxes and ale, WhatsApp verified and working on the tablet.
regards
Hello again and thanks for the comments.
There it is, Bree, since I have no contacts on the tablet, I can't see anyone. I only have chats with the three relatives that I told them to write to me (I couldn't start a chat because I didn't have contacts, or I don't know how to do it). When I want to start a chat from the WhatsApp of the tablet (I don't have it installed on my mobile because it's not Android, if not it's LG's own OS) it only lets me choose between the three chats I have.
So I still don't know how it works exactly.
regards
It worked very well for me, download the aptoide application because in the play store it tells me that it is not compatible for tablets, I have the galaxy tab 2 and it works very well. Thanks greetings
I tell you that you can put WhatsApp on the tablet. In order for it to take your contacts as if it were a telephone, you have to download GO CONTACTS EX. With this app it takes all the email contacts you have and passes them to whatsapp.
Excuse me, can someone get me out of doubt what happens is that the whatsaap on my tablet is a samsung galaxy 2 but it was uninstalled and I want to reinstall it, can I use the same number or do I have to use another? Pork I already put the same one and it says "failed to send sms"
Anyone save pork?
I have a Chinese android tablet and without any problem download whatsapp and telegram from the play store. Then, to use it, I use the SECOND LINE app (in my case from Movistar, but there are free ones) that generates a virtual number WITHOUT ANY COST, another trick is to use your grandfather's phone (or anyone you know who does not use whatsapp ) although it is convenient to tell them clearly because the verification sms will arrive on their phone (even if it is not a smartphone there is no problem) then you have to wait for the tablet to give you the option to call you (patience, it takes a while) and enter the code q has reached your grandfather's mobile or give you a call.
It is not advisable to use the same number q on your mobile because you go crazy when you receive everything duplicated.
by the way, if you use the same gmail account on the tablet and on the mobile, all the contacts are imported without having to do anything, at least it has been like that in my case.
And they don't charge additional costs, using that other line? I have my mother's phone, but I don't trust to use it for the same reason, I don't want unexpected moves, if someone gets me out of doubt…. I do not see fonyou at all, I know that this WhatsApp works, but I want to make sure that when I give my mother's number, nothing strange comes in the form of euros.
Does anyone deign to answer me?
Hello Norberto:
Let's see, your first comment is from two days ago, and the article from months ago. So you have to have a little patience, because we handle hundreds of comments from people like you who have doubts. About what you say, I do not understand very well what you mean, but I anticipate that if your mother's card has an active data connection, they should not charge you more to put it on the tablet. It is true that some companies offer the possibility of hiring extras to navigate from the tablet, but in principle, if it is only for WhatsApp, the 3G of the mobile should reach you. I hope I've helped. If I have not resolved your question, try to raise the problem more clearly and I will try to give you a hand.
Regards!
installed and fully active in bqEdison registered with a double line of the same mobile and acts as an individual line to the main one, downloaded directly from the wsst web and you receive the registration code on the second line of the mobile ...
I read you put the code and that's it

I have a zte tablet and I would like to download whatsapp on it but the play store won't let me know that this application is not compatible for this device. Depending on where I bought my tablet, they say that this is android and then why can't I download the whatsapp if this is android and besides everything it has no card
Of course, it is useful that they do not know how the system works, it does not mean that all this is false

how to install whatsapp without play store
Hello, how do I install whatsapp in my table sansu?
Hello Cristina Torres. And installed WhatsApp from Aptoide, according to a tutorial above 2 years ago, on the Energy i 10 tablet, and when I open I get the following two messages. This version of WhatsApp expired on 29-5-2016, please see to Google play and download the last update. The following message (below the previous one) »The date of your device is 4-6-2016, if the date is incorrect, please change it in your device settings and then open WhatsApp again» . The date was correct and is where I write this query. As options on the tablet screen, down DOWNLOAD and when I do it, I get to open again and start again with the same messages. Thank you very much.
