Hi all. I've found several how-to's about installing whatsapp on Linux and Debian but none of them was useful to me. Anyone out there who was successful with the issue and can report how to do? Thanks, nice day all of you Rodolfo

I'm not sure what you need, but the secure messaging part (when it is done right) is being handled with code from the TextSecure project. If that is what you are after, then you might want to consider looking at that project -- Android TextSecure / Red Phone .... iOS Signal is the equivalent, but in one app. The Android apps are expected to become one app too, but not sure when. https://whispersystems.org/ The apps on github: https://github.com/whispersystems/ Kind Regards AndrewM -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iF4EAREIAAYFAlYiOa8ACgkQqBZry7fv4vushgD+LWI/JdHOLk5sM855CXjQRWPG hxnfz+P5HH52Kvqfe5cA/jwIgXM6jCLFpWHV2CLT1vhYI029Z5vyd10l60lBZ9qO =y8cp -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Hello, If you check out WhatsApp's website, or the wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WhatsApp The only supported operating systems are on phones. Since it's a mobile phone app, I would guess there is no PC port of this. > On Oct 18, 2015, at 12:36, Rodolfo Medina <rodolfo.medina@gmail.com> wrote: > > Andrew McGlashan <andrew.mcglashan@affinityvision.com.au> writes: > >> Hi, >> >>> On 17/10/2015 9:52 PM, Rodolfo Medina wrote: >>> I've found several how-to's about installing whatsapp on Linux and >>> Debian but none of them was useful to me.

There is BlueStacks, however I think it's only available for Windoze and OSX, not sure if it will run on Linux. Maybe you might have a chance to find something similar to it On Mon, Oct 19, 2015 at 12:16 AM, Eike Lantzsch <zp6cge@gmx.net> wrote: > On Sunday 18 October 2015 13:55:06 foster2cbrandon@gmail.com wrote: > > Hello, > > > > If you check out WhatsApp's website, or the wikipedia page: > > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WhatsApp The only supported operating > systems > > are on phones.

You can use a Android virtual device coming along with the Android development kit (see https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html). There you start WhatsApp. You receive the token for verifying by SMS width any mobile phone or data-stik. regards Maik Am 19.10.2015 um 10:21 schrieb Catalin Soare: > There is BlueStacks, however I think it's only available for Windoze and > OSX, not sure if it will run on Linux. > Maybe you might have a chance to find something similar to it > > On Mon, Oct 19, 2015 at 12:16 AM, Eike Lantzsch <zp6cge@gmx.net> wrote: > >> On Sunday 18 October 2015 13:55:06 foster2cbrandon@gmail.com wrote: >>> Hello, >>> >>> If you check out WhatsApp's website, or the wikipedia page: >>> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WhatsApp The only supported operating >> systems >>> are on phones.

I can download anything with any OS and install it on my MAC or any MS-Windows OS I own if I choose to - NOT? The developers or sales people of Bluestack seem to live in a very, but very narrow world. So short answer is: Bluestack not available on Linux. Cheers Eike
