Since July 1, users with Russian IP cannot download Whatsapp from the official page. The “download” button is still present, but when you click it, a notification appears about the connection being reestablished. With a high probability, one of the most popular instant messengers is preparing to completely withdraw from the Russian Federation.
However, you can still continue to use Whatsapp on your computer through the messaging web service.
How to download Whatsapp application on a computer in 2022 after sanctions? The answer so far remains the same as for many other outgoing services. That is, change the IP through a VPN. The second way is to ask someone you know from other countries to download the installation file and send it to you.
But the question remains how long it will be possible to use Whatsapp via VPN in Russia.
I see two reasons.
1) The Government of the Russian Federation systematically limits VP. Several applications that I used successfully stopped working. Of course, developers are looking for ways to bypass VPN restrictions, but it looks like this time the government will be able to tighten the screws and it won’t be like what happened with Rutracker. Officially, it was locked many years ago, but, let’s be honest, did this stop you from using it? And in the end, let me remind you, Rutreker even disappeared from the Roskomnadzor blacklist.
2) Let me remind you how to register on Whatsapp: by phone number. And, if WhatsApp’s decision to leave Russia is final, then the company can make a simple block, excluding access for those who start with +7. By
Before answering the “what to do” question, it is worth answering the “what not to do” question. With some probability, the inability to download the official Whatsapp app from the developer’s website will lead ordinary users to look for the wrong alternative in the form of downloading Whatsapp with viruses. About 3 years ago, my wife decided that the best way to download Whatsapp to a new computer is to simply type the precious “download whatsapp to computer” in the search. I downloaded it, installed it and voila… had to completely format the system (luckily the computer was new and empty anyway, it was easier to reinstall the whole system). So if you can’t download Whatsapp to your computer, maybe you shouldn’t?
In short, there are alternatives to Whatsapp in 2022. And this, first of all, is the same Telegram, which is in some ways even more convenient than Whatsapp (and in some ways not, let’s be honest). And good old Viber hasn’t been cancelled. If you want to continue using instant messaging on your computer, then your choice is not just limited to Whatsapp.

Of course, it is not good that the user is limited in his choice. Of course, the departure of WhatsApp from Russia in 2022 will not be good news. But such a problem as, for example, leaving Microsoft and blocking Windows for Russian users, it will not be safe.
