How to download WhatsApp Business in Spain

Luckily, once the WhatsApp Business app archive emerges through the Google Play Store, some app repositories like APKMirror pick it up and sharevia Internet. Thus, we can get hold of the version available in other countries already in Spain in advance. Now, in our tests we have not been able to create any business account in WhatsApp Business. Something that may be blocked territorially until the application officially arrives in Spain.

In any case, it is possible to go through APKMirror's WhatsApp Business download page and get the latest version available.From here you can download directly to any Android mobile. However, when installing this application you have to activate the Unknown Sources function from the Security settings of the terminal. With this we can install applications from outside the Google Play Store, although we will do so without Google's protections and at our own risk, knowing that we can jeopardize our privacy and the integrity of the terminal

After installation WhatsApp Business is installed in the terminal as another application, with a different icon where you can see the WhatsApp logo and a large Bin the center of it.
