If you don’t have pidgin, install it (From software center or by sudo apt-get install pidgin in terminal)
Now open a terminal and write

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:whatsapp-purple/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install pidgin-whatsapp


Now simply launch Pidgin. Add a whatsapp account, put username as the
phone number with country code ( as written above)
and password as the string we obtained earlier.

Use whatsapp on your laptop. (PS- Don’t use it simultaneously on your mobile)

Better still, use viber, and ask your friends to do the same! : it has a desktop client.
