Hi Mike Here

A lot of folks use this very useful messaging app. However some find that when they try to install it from Google Play Store they are told it is not compatible with their device.


Good Luck.

The link in the video appears to download a valid version of Whatsapp.  However, as a general rule, turning on "Unknown sources" in the device settings opens up a gaping security hole in the device - simply clicking on unsuspecting links can install malware sourced from outside the Google Play store.

For people who are not security savvy, this is a dangerous suggestion.

At the very least, any member who follows the advice on the video and installs the non-store version of WhatsApp should also be told to turn off "unknown sources" setting as soon as Whatsapp is installed.
