Install WhatsApp on Android x86 virtual machine
There is no direct way for installing WhatsApp for virtual device from Google Playstore.


Android x86 doesn't come with all features (core features e.g play services, services framework etc) and SIM functionality is also missing.
The virtual device being treated as as "tablet" is incompatible, as WhatsApp states:



  Tablet devices are not supported


There are workarounds however to install it on the virtual device.
