WhatsApp now available on JioPhone running KaiOS

WhatsApp JioPhone

Users of the JioPhone across India have been feeling left out when it comes to using the popular messaging service WhatsApp.

That is because WhatsApp has all along only been available on the popular mobile operating systems; Android, iOS, and Windows Mobile. Leaving out the less popular KaiOS, which powers the smartphones such as the JioPhone and JioPhone 2.

Well, that changes now. Users of the JioPhone will be glad to know that today WhatsApp has released a version of the messaging app for the KaiOS. Meaning JioPhone users across India can now join their counterparts on Android, iOS, and Windows Mobile in chatting on WhatsApp.

JioPhone users can now be able to enjoy all the WhatsApp services including the ability to send and receive encrypted messages (with end-to-end encryption). Send photos and videos to family and friends. Make both voice and video calls. Hold discussions in closed WhatsApp groups with friends, colleagues, and family members.

How do I download WhatsApp on my JioPhone?

WhatsApp has already published the app on the JioPhone AppStore today. All you need is to go to AppStore and install the app on your phone. The app works on both the JioPhone and JioPhone 2.
