    Are you looking for ways to connect WhatsApp to your Android TV? Though WhatsApp officially supports Android smartphones, iPhones, Windows, and Mac, there is still no official app for Android TV. Do not worry! We have a workaround to access WhatsApp on your Smart TV. You can easily use WhatsApp on your TV by sideloading it or using the WhatsApp Web Version.

    WhatsApp is a top-rated communication app that allows users to send & receive text messages, images, videos, locations, documents, contacts, payment, and make audio & video calls with people worldwide via the internet. But while making video calls, it is better to watch video calls on bigger screens. So, follow this guide to view your video call screen on your TV.

    How to Install WhatsApp on Android TV

    Unlike smartphones, Android TV doesn’t have a standalone app for WhatsApp. Instead, you need to sideload the apk version with the help of the Downloader tool on Android TV.

    [1] Turn on the Android TV and check the internet connection.

    [2] Select the Apps tab on the home screen.
