I have used Bluestacks i din't find Blustacks that efficient and useful and also found some disadvantages like our system getting slower due to the bulkness of the software , disconnecting of internet connection and disappearing of some computer data.So i suggest you to move to other android emulators.
- You can try Android Installer or SDK manager which is a Official Android Emulating software.
So Enjoy Whatsapp and many other exiting apps of your PC.
