1. Use WhatsApp on Chromebook Without Phone
Many Chromebooks support Google Play Store and if your device is one of them, you can install and use WhatsApp directly from the Play Store on your Chromebook. This method lets you use WhatsApp without being connected to your phone. Please note if you are already using WhatsApp on your phone, this method will deactivate your WhatsApp account on your phone. It’s like installing WhatsApp on a new phone. The drawback of this method is that you can use WhatsApp on only one device, either your phone or Chromebook. Since this method installs the regular WhatsApp Android app on your Chromebook, it supports all the features. That is, it lets you voice or video call WhatsApp contacts on Chromebook, create WhatsApp status, and more. Note: If you are unable to use the camera in WhatsApp video calls, know how to fix the Camera not working on Chromebook.
2. Use WhatsApp on Chromebook and Phone at the Same Time
This method overcomes the disadvantage of the previous method. That is, you can use WhatsApp on your phone and Chromebook with the same number and at the same time, thanks to WhatsApp Web. You don’t even need to install anything. Simply open the WhatsApp web, scan the QR code, and you are good to go. You can add the WhatsApp web shortcut in Launcher or pin it for quicker access on the Chromebook’s Shelf. The only drawback is that this method doesn’t support voice or video calls.
