No, it doesn't work on an Ipad, although I think its possible if you jailbreak it. All my family have Apple devices so we use Imessage, although at one stage my son switched to an Android, and we tried to use other apps such as Viber. It was okay, but very clunky on the ipad. In the end he switched back to Apple.

Thank you. I have it on an Android phone and absolutely hate using it, but as my daughter no longer wishes to use Facebook it looks as tough I will just have to persevere with it. I thought there would be more room to type on Ipad than on the phone :-(

For a complete novice like myself, could someone explain how to use Whatapp via a PC???

Ive been told its possible, but I'm not sure how its done. Am I correct that essentially your PC becomes the smartphone and that messages are sent to your mobile number via the internet???

what software is required to run this???

unfortunately it appears that more and more people are using this medium as communication, and I need to keep up.

thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks Enrique, your like looks great but I do have a couple of questions if you donr mind answering if you know the answer.

It seems like the app emulator is only free for a month. will it uninstall its self after the month?? Then what would happen??

Following the instructions i noticed that the software company will call the installers mobile number as part of the installation. Would that be a premium cost call??

I only ask as I noticed that on some download you have to use an insane premium line which is extremely expensive and that you sort of commit yourself for these premium email marketing program that is hard to get out.

cheers in advance for your help.

Hi Acen,
Sorry can't answer your questions on this app................. :(
As you don't sound happy with what you have found out already have a look round for another App.
