Why I can’t install WhatsApp on my tablet?
In case you have a tablet that doesn’t come with a slot for a SIM card, then there are high chances that WhatsApp can’t be installed on it. This is because WhatsApp is using the mobile phone number to get verified.

Once you receive the code on your smartphone, use it on the WhatsApp application that runs on your Android tablet. Enjoy!
