    Purchasing mistakes. Like mistakes in general, we have all made them. Some remember their own mistakes and allow for those made by others.

    And some are not so tolerant. They are the Perfect Ones.
    I think this job really needs
    a much bigger hammer.

    Can't you just run Opera Browser on it? It allows you direct access to WhatsApp.

    ANY browser that enables a Desktop Site view allows direct access to WhatsApp. ;)

    Or are you referring to something different?

    Yes, and when we do make mistakes we own them and deal with them at our own expense.

    We dont try to make up reasons to make it someone elses problem.

    Whats the business meant to do with a tablet thats opened and used? Would you be happy buying it as brand new off the shelf with say, the box taped up with cellotape??

    I'm wholly intolerant of this Snowflake generation where theres always someone else to blame and noone takes ownership for anything.

    A quick Google yields mutliple results on how to install Whatsapp on a tablet.

    [ 1 ], [ 2 ], [ 3 ] for example

    Just used this to install on my PC- massive thanks! Another simple way to communicate with friends and family for free.

    I've stopped buying from PC world for this very reason. It may be something like you hate a user interface or maybe a fiddly remote neither of which may show up in reviews or specifications. Most other retailers offer no quibble returns and buying online guarantees it although you may have to pay return carriage.

    It was a current thread when I replied I guess I didn't notice the spam and it has been removed. Unless deleting the spam doesn't alter the thread position in the queue. Either way my post was genuine and I'd advise others to think twice before buying from Currys/PCW unless 100% certain of suitability.

    Sorry KB I wasn't implying that you were to blame for anything. :)
