Yes but BlackBerry runtime need a lot of updating for new features. If they would make android one you would not get notified when a chat comes in
I did sideload the android version and horrible, since I have to open the app to preview my message and still don't have pictures or videos working.

If you would have a phone with a sim card I would tell you to place it in another phone and now download whatsapp and you can use the whatsapp on the phone, or get a text on your old phone and use the code to enter on your phone you want to switch it to.
