WhatsApp Messenger XAPK for Android

How to install WhatsApp Messenger

1. Check the version, file size and Android requirements on this page.
2. Select Download XAPK. On the preparation page, wait for the countdown or select Download now.
3. Download and install the APK for VInstall first (Android 5.0 or later). If Android asks, allow the browser or file manager you are using to install it.
4. Wait for the XAPK download to finish. Open VInstall in Normal mode, tap Select File and choose the .xapk file from Downloads. Do not rename its extension to .apk.
5. Check the app name and required package parts, then tap Install. Allow VInstall to install apps when Android asks and follow the confirmation through to completion. Normal mode does not require root or Shizuku; you can turn the installation permission off afterwards.

Updating an installed app

Compare the version on this page with the one on your device. Download the update and open the XAPK through VInstall using the steps above. Android can install it as an update if the app identity and file signature match the installed app.

Read the APK installation and troubleshooting guide. If there is a problem with the file, use the Report a problem button on this page.
