WhatsApp can finally be downloaded from the KaiStore, but only on KaiOS devices with at least 256MB or 512MB of RAM. It also comes pre-installed on select phones from the third quarter of this 2019. The KaiOS version of WhatsApp supports both calls and messages and even includes end-to-end encryption, just like on Android and iOS.
For Matt Idem, COO of WhatsApp, “offering WhatsApp on KaiOS helps bridge the digital divide to connect with friends and family in a simple, secure and reliable way.”
