  1. This approach fails at step 7 for Fire Stick and Cube, and I suspect for Fire TV as well. While Whatsapp downloads and installs, one cannot complete the setup procedure which requires you to click on the Agree and Continue button, which cannot be clicked using the remote or keyboard. So one ends up with an installed but unusable Whatsapp application. Could you elaborate on how you completed step 7 please?
