Your battery is dead, your phone is broken, it's charging and you don't want to be stuck to the socket. There are endless possibilities that make us think of other options for using WhatsApp without a cell phone.
And that's exactly what we're going to talk about today. See how to do it, what the alternatives are and what not to do to have your data exposed.
Are you ready? Then let's go!
How to use WhatsApp without a cell phone: WhatsApp Web.
One of the most practical, safe, easy and official ways to use WhatsApp without a cell phone is, without a doubt, WhatsApp Web.
With Whatsapp Web you can access WhatsApp from your computer or notebook.
To do this, you have two ways:
- Through the browser: accessing the official website and logging in via the QR code.
- Through the program: that can be downloaded here and installed on your computer.
Please note that the first time you access any of the forms, you will need a cell phone to scan this QR Code.
The other important thing is that after this, your cell phone will need to be connected in order for you to access the messages on your computer.
On the other hand, the big advantage is that you can use WhatsApp without necessarily needing to be near your tablet or smartphone.
Those who work on a computer or need WhatsApp to work end up wasting less time this way, since it is much quicker and easier to respond to messages and send files through the browser or program. After all, no one deserves to have to stop and pick up their cell phone every 5 minutes to respond to a message on WhatsApp.
How to install Whatsapp Web
Installing Whatsapp Web is very easy and quick!
Just download it from the official website, using the link we have already provided above.
Then you click on the downloaded program and it will start installing. Just follow the steps and instructions.
Installation is very simple and only takes a few minutes.
After completing the installation, you will need to log in using your mobile phone.
To do this, you need to enter the application, click on the three dots and then choose the “Whatsapp Web” option.
Done! Now just align the QR Code in the app's reader and the login will be done automatically.
I don't have a cell phone or internet connection, how can I use WhatsApp?
Another option is to ask a friend to lend you their cell phone and download WhatsApp Business, for example, or duplicate the WhatsApp application (it is possible to do this on some smartphones, such as Samsung).
To do this, you will need to put your chip in your friend's device and then log in to the WhatsApp app normally, like on any other device.
After logging in, you will be able to interact with your contacts on WhatsApp.
When you finish sending messages, you can uninstall WhatsApp Business or clear the app's cache, so that your friend does not have any of your account data.
Remember that this solution is for more urgent and emergency cases, when you need to connect quickly to chat or respond to an important message.
If the person allows it, you can use their own WhatsApp, but in this case, they will lose all their conversations and media. Even if you back up the conversations shortly before deletion, without any explanation, WhatsApp may lose some of the messages after recovery.
But if she has allowed you to do this, ask her to follow these steps:
- Go to “settings”
- Select “applications”
- Choose “Whatsapp”
- Click on “clear data/clear cache”
Once this is done, you can now connect and reply to your messages. Don't forget to do the same procedure before returning the phone to the person and, please, don't read the messages from their app.
Show her this tutorial and ask her to do this procedure herself! Never do this without her consent, because all messages, photos, videos and files will be deleted and without backup, recovery is not possible.
How to use WhatsApp without a cell phone
The truth is that there is still no efficient and safe way to use WhatsApp without a cell phone or tablet.
You can even try to do this with some apps like Blue Stacks, for example, which simulates the Android system.
However, this is not a secure way and you may have your data completely exposed.
Therefore, we did not leave the tutorial here on how to use this emulator, as your safety must come first.
Avoid these alternative apps and digital “workarounds” because they can have consequences on your computer or tablet, acting as a kind of gateway for hackers who can even steal credit card details and other personal information. Be careful!
Conclusion: stick with the official alternatives
If your cell phone is broken, you can take an old one, even a very old one, and just install the application from WhatsApp to connect to the computer and use Web WhatsApp.
This is, without a doubt, the best way to ensure you don't run out of WhatsApp until you find your device or get a new one.
Remember that in recent months, hundreds of WhatsApp accounts have been cloned.
In this sense, it is not uncommon to find people reporting that someone is pretending to be them and asking them to borrow money.
If you haven't experienced this, you certainly know someone who has received this type of message.
Given these scams, you can never be too careful!
In fact, we prepared an incredible article here about How to know if your cell phone has been cloned!
Either way, an important tip is to go into your app, settings, security, and two-step verification.
This way, you protect your WhatsApp and reduce the chances of having your number cloned.
