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

QUOTE(wchinwai @ Jun 14 2025, 02:20 AM) 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 Bought on shoppee 6.6 rm172. I don't really care the performance. Just need for only WhatsApp only. Manatau WhatsApp also failed

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
