WhatsApp for Nokia has extended support for some devices running older operating systems while other devices were no longer supported by the chat application. Nokia devices running the Nokia Symbian S40 devices will be able to run WhatsApp until 31 December 2018.

Now, devices running Nokia Symbian S60 do not support WhatsApp for Nokia anymore as the support was ended by the messaging application in June 2017. Below is a list of devices that still support WhatsApp for Nokia and the devices that don’t support WhatsApp for Nokia based on their operating system not just manufacturer as some Samsung devices also had the Nokia Symbian operating systems.

WhatsApp for Nokia is still supported for these phones

If your phone is on the list below or runs Nokia Symbian S40, you are still able to run WhatsApp for Nokia. However, the chat application is no longer available for download on the WhatsApp website but there are some websites that still have the application for you to download. We strongly discourage you to download from these unofficial sources as they may not be safe, so do it at your own risk.

Nokia Asha 20, Nokia Asha 205 Chat Edition, Nokia Asha 206, Nokia Asha 208, Nokia Asha 210, Nokia Asha 300, Nokia Asha 301, Nokia Asha 302, Nokia Asha 303, Nokia Asha 305, Nokia Asha 306, Nokia Asha 308, Nokia Asha 309, Nokia Asha 310, Nokia Asha 311, Nokia Asha 515, Nokia Asha 500, Nokia Asha 501, Nokia Asha 502, Nokia Asha 503, Nokia Asha 230, Nokia C3-00, Nokia C3-01, Nokia X2-01, Nokia X3-02, Nokia X2-00, Nokia 6700,

WhatsApp for Nokia is not supported for these phones

If your phone is in the list below or runs Nokia Symbian S60, then you will not be able to run WhatsApp for Nokia as support as ended for these devices. Some features may stop working if you still have the application or it may no longer work at all if it hasn’t stopped.

Nokia X7, Nokia E6, Nokia C6, Nokia 5800, Nokia 5530, Nokia 5230, Nokia 5233, Nokia 5235, Nokia N97, Nokia N97 mini, Nokia X6, Nokia X5-01, Nokia C5-03, Samsung i8910 Omnia HD, Sony Ericsson Satio, Sony Ericsson Vivaz, Sony Ericsson Vivaz Pro, Nokia 5700, Nokia 6110, Nokia 6120, Nokia 6121, Nokia 6124, Nokia 6290, Nokia E51, Nokia E63, Nokia E66, Nokia E71, Nokia E90 Communicator, Nokia N76, Nokia N81, Nokia N81 8GB, Nokia N82, Nokia N95, Nokia N95 8GB, Nokia 5320, Nokia 5630, Nokia 5730, Nokia 6210, Nokia 6220,  Nokia 6650 fold, Nokia 6710 Navigator, Nokia 6720, Nokia 6730, Nokia 6760 Slide, Nokia 6790 Surge, Nokia C5, Nokia E52, Nokia E55, Nokia E72, Nokia E73, Nokia E75, Nokia E5, Nokia N78, Nokia N79, Nokia N85, Nokia N86 8MP, Nokia N96, Samsung GT-i8510, Samsung GT-I7110, Samsung SGH-L870, Samsung SGH-G810

WhatsApp for Nokia will not be supported by phones that run Symbian Anna operating system e.g Nokia N8, Nokia C7, Nokia E7, and phones that run Symbian Belle operating system e.g Nokia 500, Nokia 600 Nokia 603, Nokia 700, Nokia 701, Nokia 808.

This is because these devices have operating systems that are based on Symbian S60 so they are also affected by the ending in support of WhatsApp for Nokia for Symbian S60 phones. Nokia phones that run Windows phone 8 e.g Nokia Lumia 520 will no longer run WhatsApp for Nokia from 31 December 2017.

New Nokia phones by HMD Global will support WhatsApp

Nokia recently got back into the smartphone business after the acquisition of their brand by Microsoft ended. The brand is now being used by HMD Global, a Finnish company that is now developing and marketing smartphones and feature phones under the Nokia brand name.

The Nokia phones that will be made by HMD Global will come with Android as the operating system. So for all of those new Nokia phones that have Android version greater than 2.3.7, they will support WhatsApp until February 1, 2020. The higher the Android version, the less likely that it will be quickly unsupported by WhatsApp even after 2020.
