WhatsApp is one of the most popular messaging apps and people from all around the world use it. The application can be downloaded on iOS, Android and Windows Phone devices and it is available for free. However, not all phones will be able to use WhatsApp in the future.

For example, Nokia Asha users won’t receive WhatsApp support after December 31, 2018. In fact, all Nokia S40 phones won’t support WhatsApp after that date, which marks the end of the year. The Nokia Series 40 Compatible Devices are Nokia Asha 201, 205, 210, 230, 300, 302, 303, 305, 306, 308, 309, 310, 500 to 503, Nokia 301 Single and Dual SIM Chat Edition, Nokia 206 Single and Dual SIM devices and Nokia 208 and 515 which come with preinstalled WhatsApp.
