The Lumia 530 is a great communication tool straight out of the box, but thanks to access to the Windows Phone Store, you can also download everyone’s favourite cross-platform messaging app – WhatsApp. Here’s how to set up and use WhatsApp on your Lumia 530.
With a bright 4-inch 854 x 480 display, a 1.2GHz quad-core Qualcomm CPU and a 5-Megapixel camera, the Nokia Lumia 530 is all the smartphone you need for a bargain price.
Download WhatsApp, and you’ll be able to send advanced chats to all of your friends and family, regardless of which smartphone operating system they use.
Here’s our advice on setting up and using WhatsApp on your Nokia Lumia 530.
WhatsApp for Windows Phone: Installation
First things first, you can install WhatsApp on your Nokia Lumia 530 from here. Alternatively, just search for it in the Windows Phone Store on your handsets. Don’t worry – it’s free!
When asked, click yes to allow WhatsApp to access your location.
WhatsApp for Windows Phone: Initial set-up
Upon opening up WhatsApp on your Nokia Lumia 530, click ‘agree and continue’ to the terms and conditions. Then, check that your country is correct. The international dialling code should also be filled in for you (it’s +44 for the UK). All you need to do here is fill in your mobile number, knocking off the ‘0’ from the beginning.
Now hit the forward button.
WhatsApp for Windows Phone: Verification
WhatsApp will now want to send you a verification SMS, so check that the number is correct and hit continue. When you receive the number as a text message, you can do one of two things. Either memorise the six-digit number from the notification and type it into the field, or go into the message and tap the link at the bottom.
WhatsApp for Windows Phone: Enter profile
Now you need to set up your profile, which is how your contacts will see you. Tap on the picture field, and you’ll be able to set a picture of yourself (or whatever you want). You can either take a selfie then and there, or take a picture from an existing album stored on your device.
Back in the Profile info screen, you also need to add a name. This will be the name you’re know as in WhatsApp. Top tip: tap the little smiley button to add an emoticon to your name.
Now hit the forward button twice. You’ll find that WhatsApp has added all of your contacts using WhatsApp to your WhatsApp account
WhatsApp for Windows Phone: How to use
From the Chats field, click on the + button to start a new one-to-one chat. From here it’s a simple matter of typing in a message, just like an SMS. You can also attach pictures, contacts, location info, videos, or video messages from here.
You can also start group messages with the little group icon alongside the + button, setting up a group photo and subject to boot.
