Communication is vital in the age of technology and that is the reason we have so many messaging applications. However, WhatsApp manages to stand out, as it is one of the most popular and complex ones.
Nonetheless, WhatsApp does not support all mobile phones, and it focuses on the more recent ones. When it comes to Nokia, Microsoft purchased the phone business and decided to end the Nokia Asha line in order to focus more on Lumia Windows and other phones.
Despite this fact, WhatsApp was not withdrawn from the Asha phones. The Asha devices that are supported by WhatsApp are the following: 201, 205 Chat Version, 210, 230 One SIM, 230 Two SIM, 300, 302, 303, 305, 306, 308, 309, 310, 311, 500, 501, 502, 503.
