Lumia 920 - Whatsapp missing from store

 

Hmmmm, could this be a possible update? Hopefully, the delay is annoying!

 

Can anybody shed some light?

 

Thanks!

It does appear to have been removed for WP8 devices, possibly due to issues. You should contact whatsapp for more info.

It did have an issue with the toast notification not in sync with actual message. A delay for the message to appear when the app was opened.

 

Anyway I shall contact them.

 

Thanks.

Re: Lumia 920 - Whatsapp missing from store

I found it under APP HIGHLIGHTS collection > Starter Kit > WhatsApp but it says "This App is not available for your device". This might be because:

1.  your phone software needs to be updated. ---> checked

2.  the app is exclusive to a different mobile provider ---> really???

3.  the app is not available in your country / region ---> seriously!

 

I love this phone and have been using Whatsapp on an iphone. help!

Thanks for the info...

I got this after an automated message as my first reply which was not helpful at all. Then replying to that, I got this...

Max, Dec 05 11:20 (PST):

Hi,

I'd suggest you talk to WhatsApp about this, little anyone here or at Nokia can do about this. If it's so vital for you to have WhatsApp you might want to research before you splash out the cash on a new phone.
