How to install WhatsApp Messenger APK on Android phone or tablet?
Download WhatsApp Messenger APK file from ApkClean, then follow these steps:
Update Phone Settings
Go to your phone Settings page
Tap Security or Applications (varies with device)
Check the Unknown Sources box
Confirm with OK
Go to Downloads
Open Downloads on your device by going to My Files or Files
Tap the APK file you downloaded (com.whatsapp-v2.24.9.73-ApkClean.apk)
Tap Install when prompted, the APK file you downloaded will be installed on your device.
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading). As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

3 ★This is an important app from day to day usage in our life perspective. However, I want to point out an issue here regarding sending the Location. The location sharing is not accurate, whenever I share my current location, it points out a different location which is 4 kms away... I tried many times thinking that I might not be able to send the location correctly. But thats not the case, I experience this issue many times earlier at different location. Kindly look at the issue and try to
2 ★I noticed that with the current updates, if you start a group voice chat and members leave the voice chat with the exception of one person, that one person is automatically disconnected from the voice chat. Earlier, one person can actually stay right there when everyone leaves and doesn't get disconnected automatically. Why did you remove that? It was a great idea; bring it back. Also bring back the option to schedule a call on a group. Thanks!
4 ★its basically simply a messaging app, and its not bad, quite decent, rather. however, i do have one issue with this app. every time i forward more than one message to someone, the messages aren't sent in the correct order. i dont know if this is a bug or glitch or something, but it has happened to me every time i forwarded something. if you can fix that, it'd definitely make the app better.
1 ★Downgrade to 1 star because: 1. The "Status" screen is mostly covered by a usless/unutilized "Channels". There is no way to disable or delete "Channels" and clear this issue. 2. Photos from contacts are deposited into the phone Gallery and clutter the folder. After deleting them in WhatsApp I repeat the process in Gallery. 3. When I choose to delay App update, it keeps popping up as a reminder 4. No way to uninstall updates or revert to the previous version.
1 ★Oh, a junk! You cannot install it without a phone number. You do not have backup. The new feature of new account is useless as it doesn't blend the messages, you have to switch accounts to see if someone wrote something. Better the old way of dual installation. On PC works just sometimes - most of the time says phone is disconnected. I have to just start the app on phone to be able to use it. What does it mean? Such a junk.
1 ★I've noticed since the latest update I'm not receiving all my notifications. Icon or sound. Not sure why. UPDATE: we used to be able to see when messages were read or when a contact was last online etc, but now that's not happening and it's really frustrating. 😒 Not sure if the developer reads these reviews, but I tried to find a way to contact the developers and didn't see one.
3 ★Noticed quite a few bugs around voicenotes and typing recently, weird because this is usually such a stable app. My #1 bug is that the audio still switches speaker mode (loudspeaker to call) when I pocket my phone, even though I'm using a Bluetooth set. This was fixed but it's now back. The keyboard has also locked up completely when listening to a voice note a few times. Finally, I keep getting the "swipe left to reply"prompt when I'm trying to select a custom emoji reaction. Really annoying.!
5 ★WhatsApp has been my go-to communication app for years. However, I've recently encountered a minor glitch. When my media visibility is turned off, attempting to save the same image twice from WhatsApp channel triggers an error stating "WhatsApp has stopped." Despite this hiccup, the app's overall performance is stellar. Additionally, I noticed that minimizing WhatsApp right after this issue and reopening allows direct access without fingerprint scanning even if you turned off the phone.
5 ★A comprehensive communication application which is easy , efficient and effective ... and economical to boot. The physical distances between people are not deterrant in anyone getting touch, by sound and by sight, with anyone else. What is more ... the App is evolving! Features and facilities are being added to make WatsApp more interesting, more efficient and more user-friendly. This dynamic growth and development are enhancing and enriching the users' Experience Quotient.
4 ★Yall at the team of whatsapp did great this year, and I'm wishing you all a great, happy new year. Got another feature that a lot of people will probably like. The option to send videos to your status and it perfectly divides and sends everything accordingly unless set otherwise by the user. Also, the ability to schedule all forms of messages(audio, text, and video) for a certain time as well as statuses. Thanks a lot 😊
1 ★For the most part I love this app, and it's my main app for messaging my friends. However, since Android 14 I've been having issues where some chats will start to come through as silent notifications meaning I'm not aware I have new messages unless I open the app. Very frustrating. Hopefully we can get some sort of fix soon. Resetting the app is only a temporary fix.
4 ★Would be 5 stars for the best chat app, but... 1: When I'm trying to share a video to a personal contact, trying to crop out a specific portion of the video to send doesn't always work. It would make the crop selection a second or 2 too late from what I previewed before sending. 2: When sharing a video to status that's over 30s long, allow us to share the whole thing in 30s parts, instead of having to do each 30s manually. Make an option to do it manually or not. Thanks
