Why is WhatsApp not compatible on my android tablet, I really want to install it.

[Android Central Question]

So my mom told me I could get WhatsApp but when I got to the app it said it was not compatible, and I'm really bummed

Better chat the devs about this. They write the code..
It only works on phones it seems

Whatsapp is only intended for use on smartphones, but with some effort and know how it can installed on a tablet.

mpatible on my android tablet, I really want to install it.

I had the same problem. Don't download from play Store, do this direct from WhatsApp. This can also be done for updates. You can use WhatsApp from ur tablet. I use it on mine. Good luck.

Why won't WhatsApp work on my Samsung Tablet

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab A Android Version 7.1.1
and I cannot get it to install the App on my Tablet

Any suggestion how I can do this ?

I have a mobile phone but it has next to nothing in storage space

The only reason I need WhatsApp is because my daughter has gone abroad with a small group and they have set up a 'group contact' on WhatsApp that I cant currently access.

Its a shame because Messenger (the messaging part of Facebook) copes fine being used on my Tablet !

Any help or suggestion would be gratefully received
Thanks
