    1. You can activate Whatsapp on Nexus 7 (Wi-Fi version). When asked to input the phone number for activation, enter a valid phone number which Whatsapp will send the verification code by SMS. With the activation code, you will be able to activate Whatsapp on the Nexus 7.

  1. If activated on a Nexus 7, will Whatsapp run ONLY on the tablet, or can it run simultaneously on a smart phone as well? FYI, That is, can your Whatsapp be registered and work on two separate devices (a phone and tablet) ? I currently have Whatsapp loaded and running on my smart phone, but would like the ability to use a larger screen and keypad (ie on my tablet)
    P.S. I realise I could open a 2nd whatsapp account for the tablet (eg “Bob” ……on phone……and “Bob Tablet” on tablet….if I have a second sim card I can use to register with, other than the one I am currently using my smartphone! 🙂

  2. Hi, I’ve downloaded everything and a contact I know who has the app is showing, but she doesn’t seem to be getting my messages. I have Galaxy Tab 3.8.0 Thanks
