Jio WhatsApp download app: How to install

Reliance JioPhone users will soon be able to install WhatsApp. After successful completion of the trials, for the first time, WhatsApp will be available for JioPhone users across India, the company said in a release. WhatsApp has built a new version of its private messaging app for JioPhone, which runs on Jio-KaiOS, to give people a simple, reliable, and secure way to communicate with friends and family.

Jio said that the new app will offer the best of WhatsApp including fast and reliable messaging and the ability to send photos and videos — all end-to-end encrypted. It's also easy to record and send voice messages with just couple taps on the keypad. To get started, JioPhone users only need to verify their phone number and then they can begin chatting with other WhatsApp users one-on-one or in groups, said the release.
