New Delhi: The popular Whatsapp is now available for Nokia's Asha 501 smart feature phones, including the dual-SIM variants. The app has been released as the over-the-air software update.
Once users have received the software update, they can download the WhatsApp and start sending instant messages. And after logging in for the first time on Asha 501, the phone will automatically find and add contacts.
WhatsApp lets you message friends using your 2G or Wi-Fi connection, so you don't pay SMS fees and keep costs as low as possible.
The update brings the software in line with what is used on Asha 500, 502 and 503.
The new update allows users to make voice calls over data connections using social messaging apps such as Nimbuzz to start, with more coming soon. For enterprise users, Nokia has implemented Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync features, as well.
In addition, Asha 501 users can now use phone's camera by swiping up the Lock screen and capture an image by touching anywhere on the camera screen.
The update also allows users to edit photos directly from there with a range of new filters and effects. Also, users can directly upload the images on social networks such as Facebook or send as an e-mail.
