Why is there no Play Market on the phone
Smartphone users have no idea how to search and download applications without Play Market. Huawei phone owners will have to figure out how to download WhatsApp to their device using workarounds. First, let's explain the reason for the need for such hassles.
The Chinese brand has stopped cooperating with Google. The result is sanctions from the global corporation, and the end of cooperation. Huawei continues to work on the Android system, and the programs will work on devices of this brand.
Chinese competitor of Play Market
You might think that you shouldn't buy a Huawei phone to keep access to the Play Market and be able to download the program you need. Play Market's competitor, the Chinese App Gallery market, is rapidly expanding its capacity. In 2020, the Download command was launched in the store 384 billion times. More than two million developers are spain telegram designing products for this market.
Where to download WhatsApp on your phone
To download WhatsApp without Play Market, there are two or three ways.
1. Non-standard search in AppGallery
Unfortunately, you can't just download WhatsApp from here - it won't show up in the search. Just like Instagram, Facebook.
But there is a loophole here too - the Petal Search utility.
- Open the store, enter the name "Petal Search" in the search.
— Download the program and run it.
— Please agree to the terms of use.
— Give the downloaded search engine permission to see the phone’s geolocation.
— Enter “WhatsApp” in the search bar
— Agree to the terms of use of the utility by clicking “I accept”.
— Allow the program to access the location of your smartphone.
— Enter “WhatsApp” in the search bar.
— Select the installation command.
After following the instructions, you can download WhatsApp. The messenger will work in standard mode.
2. Website
The easiest way is to enter the query "Download WhatsApp for free" in the Google or Yandex search bar. Find the official website in the search results. Or enter https://www.whatsapp.com/download in the browser address bar.
It is suggested to download and install WhatsApp on your phone (Android, iPhone) and computer (Mac, Windows).
3. APK file
This file contains everything you need for installation. Play Market installs from the same file automatically. If you download the file yourself, some commands need to be executed manually.
To download the installation file, use your browser:
- Open the website apk-dl.com or enter the query "APKMirror WhatsApp"
- On the website, enter the name "WhatsApp" and start the search
- Select the "Download APK File" command on the button.
- After downloading, open your phone's file manager.
— Find the downloaded file and run it.
