Hi, I'm not familiar with the Samsung S5 tablet. Whatsapp requires a phone number to register, so if you're using a tablet, it won't work as the tablet will more than likely not have a sim card.

The app is also not available in all countries, where are you from?

Hangouts is a great replacement for Whatsapp.
