NEW DELHI: Here’s good news for the Reliance JioPhone users as soon they will be able to experince WhatsApp on the 4G-enabled feature phone. The Reliance JioPhone runs on KaiOS which doent offer support for WhatsApp. However, since last year it was being speculated that the company is in talks with WhatsApp and will try developing a seperate app for the JioPhone. It seems that this will soon become a reality.
According to WaBetaInfo (@wabetainfo), a Twitter account that tracks changes in WhatsApp’s beta builds, the company is working on developing an app for the KaiOS. This means that the JioPhone users will soon be able to use WhatsApp on there device.
In an official blog post WaBetaInfo wrote, “Important references about the development of a new native KaiOS app had been found in the latest WhatsApp beta for Windows Phone 2.18.38, indicating the presence of a new platform that can be connected to WhatsApp servers.”
Presently, WhatsApp has over 1.5 billion users every month and with the app coming to KaiOS it is expected to expand further as JioPhone has a user base of about 6 million.
Last month, Reliance Jio announced the roll out of Facebook app for the JioPhone users. The Facebook app on JioPhone supports push notifications, video, and links to external content. Moreover, the app is optimised to accommodate the cursor function on JioPhone.
