WhatsApp Messenger is a multi-platform messenger application, and this version is compatible with Nokia phones. Quick and easy instant messaging between users of varying phone systems and international providers is one of WhatsApp Messenger's most appealing features. You can also start a group conversation with several of your contacts. If you are unavailable, the application even records messages that you received while offline so that you can see them later on. You can also send and receive multimedia files, including images, videos, and voice notes. Because the app operates like an SMS exchange and uses phone numbers seamlessly integrated from your address book, it asks for neither PINs nor usernames.
The software also allows you to block contacts, keep track of your message history, personalize notification sounds, share your location, and much more.
Update (July 20, 2017) – on July 18, 2017. The update (2.16.57) described in the following older post happened to be the last Symbian S60 version of WhatsApp. November 3, 2016 (Old post follows) WhatsApp for Symbian got an update to version 2.16.57 recently. WhatsApp is one of the very few apps left now for Symbian which are still getting official updates. Rest of the app publishers have stopped the development of their apps for “now-dead” mobile OS. This is indeed a sad state of affairs considering the fact that millions of users (especially in developing countries of Asia and Africa) are still using Symbian^3/Belle based phones. Microsoft has already discontinued every online service related to Symbian including the original Nokia Store website and app. Thus it is not possible now for developers to update any app via Nokia (Ovi) Store.
What is new in WhatsApp 2.16.9? No official change-log is available for the new version. However we have noticed a new message displaying under chats which reads “ Messages you send to this chat are now secured with end-to-end encryption.
Click for more info“. Touching on this message further says “which means Whatsapp and 3rd parties can’t read them”. A “Learn more” link is also given at the end of this message. This end-to-end encryption feature is available when the latest version of Whatsapp is installed on both ends (receiver and sender). So now you can be rest assured about the privacy of your messages sent or received. How to update? – If you have a Symbian phone with WhatsApp installed then launch it (phone must be connected to internet) – WhatsApp has a built-in automatic update-check function – it will notify you of the available update.
Besides you can also manually check for update via Menu – Settings – Updates – Check for updates – wait for a while as the app checks and shows the available update – if available select the “ Install update” button – wait as the new version is downloaded and installed. Alternatively you can also download the latest version of WhatsApp for Symbian sis file free from the official site. Update (August 2017) – WhatsApp has removed the “ Nokia/Symbian” download page from the official site. So if you want to download the WhatsApp sis file (new or old) now, please refer to. There is no hack dear!
June 30, 2017 is the new deadline for WhatsApp for Symbian end-of-support (to know more). It was December 2016 earlier, but was later extended for six months more.
So you can use WhatsApp upto June 2017 in a Symbian phone without above adjustment. Because WhatsApp is a internet based app, you can’t trick it by adjusting date etc. Further more their updates are mandatory which means you can’t avoid an update for a long time. So once their server shut down next month it will be all over buddy!. Nokia 8 is the first flagship Android phone of the new Nokia.
