I need another phone just for WhatsApp business use. So I bought a new oppo phone A5s. Android version 8.1.

Then Google play cannot open. Asked chatgpt, need to manually download the APK version. But the step are so hard and confusing.

Now I stuck edi. Phone don't have Google play store. Can't even install hotline to active the number and can't open WhatsApp coz can't download.

Why manually installing APK so hard one

just curious...you brought brand new phone? how much damage? whats the memory? 2GB RAM would not be sufficient nowadays. At least 4GB to run smoothly

Lol at least cheap new phone
At the same time, you could just use dual WhatsApps on your current phone

For my work purpose, I definitely need another phone with number with WhatsApp business only. Yeah got thought of blue stack. But what I really need is to use the WhatsApp business, to scan into other software. Normal WhatsApp won't work coz it will get blocked one
