My wife just spotted that this model of Chromebook has an option in the Settings to turn on access to the Android Play Store. We did this and were then able to find WhatsApp in the store. I still didn't install it as it's not my machine, but it looks like you don't need to mess around with APK files, given a sufficiently recent version of ChromeOS. BTW. Newer versions of ChromeOS will be allowed to install some Linux packages: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/05/09/linux_chrome_os/ -- Terry Coles -- Next meeting: Bournemouth, Tuesday, 2018-09-04 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk / CHECK IF YOU'RE REPLYING Reporting bugs well: http://goo.gl/4Xue / TO THE LIST OR THE AUTHOR
