However, a big new update looks set to boost its popularity even further with this app now available on more devices.
KaiOS powers millions of feature phones across the world including some of the latest Nokia call makers.
Until now, it wasn’t possible to access WhatsApp from these phones but that has just changed.
From today, more KaiOS owners will be able to download this app with the team behind the service saying WhatsApp will now reach millions of new users across Africa, Europe, North America, Southeast Asia, Latin America and beyond.
“We’re thrilled to bring WhatsApp to the KaiOS platform and extend such an important means of communication to a brand new demographic,” said Sebastien Codeville, CEO of KaiOS Technologies.
“We strive to make the internet and digital services accessible for everyone and offering WhatsApp on affordable smart feature phones is a giant leap towards this goal. We can’t wait to see the next billion users connect in meaningful ways with their loved ones, communities, and others across the globe.”
WhatsApp was first launched on the KaiOS-powered JioPhone in India in September of 2018 but it will slowly start rolling out to more phones including the hugely popular Nokia 8110.
