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.
