After a long wait, WhatsApp has created a new private version for a certain set of brand of mobile phones.
“For the first time, WhatsApp will be available for JioPhone across India. WhatsApp built a new version of its private messaging app for JioPhone, running the KaiOS operating system, to give people a simple, reliable, and secure way to communicate with friends and family,” mentioned the company in its blog post.
Just like the main version, WhatsApp allows the JioPhone users to send messages, images, voice messages & videos; and comes with an end-to-end encryption.
The JioPhone WhatsApp version was available on the AppStore from the 10th of September 2018 and will be rolled out on all JioPhones by September 20, 2018.
The JioPhone already supports Facebook.
