GBWhatsApp for PC: Install on Windows and Mac (2026)
GBWhatsApp is an Android app, so there is no Windows or Mac installer. You can still run it on a computer with an Android emulator, which creates a virtual phone inside a window.
What you need
| Operating system | Windows 10/11 or macOS 12 and newer |
|---|---|
| RAM | 4 GB minimum, 8 GB recommended |
| Storage | 5 GB free for the emulator and app |
| Other | Virtualization enabled in BIOS (Windows), a phone number for verification |
Popular emulators
BlueStacks is the easiest option for most people and runs on both Windows and Mac. LDPlayer and MEmu are lighter choices for Windows PCs with less RAM. Download any emulator from its official website only.
How to install GBWhatsApp on PC
- Install an emulator such as BlueStacks from its official site and sign in with a Google account.
- Download the APK on your computer from our GBWhatsApp download page.
- Add the APK by dragging the file into the emulator window or using its "Install APK" button.
- Open GBWhatsApp from the emulator's home screen.
- Verify your number. If the SMS code goes to your phone, type it in; you can also choose the voice call option.
- Set up your profile and open GB Settings to turn on the features you want.
Tips for using it on a computer
- Registering a number on the emulator logs it out of any phone using the same number, so use a number you do not need on your phone at the same time.
- Give the emulator permission to use your webcam and microphone for calls.
- Back up regularly from Settings, Chats, Chat backup, and copy the file out of the emulator's shared folder.
- Linked-device login through WhatsApp Web works with some GB builds and not with others, so test it before relying on it.
Is it safe on PC?
The risks are the same as on a phone. GBWhatsApp is unofficial and WhatsApp may suspend numbers that use it. Scan the APK before installing and read our disclaimer.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a GBWhatsApp .exe file for Windows?
No. Any site offering a GBWhatsApp .exe or .dmg file is not offering the real app. Use the APK with an emulator.
Can I use GBWhatsApp on PC and phone together?
Not with the same number on both at once. Use one number on the emulator and a different one on your phone.
Does it work on a Mac?
Yes. BlueStacks has a macOS version that runs on Intel and Apple Silicon Macs.
