Jio had announced the Jio Phone for INR 1,500 last year and this year they had announced the successor, Jio Phone 2 with 2.4-inch QVGA display, QWERTY keyboard which was priced at INR 2,999.
The Jio Phone and Jio Phone are running on Kai OS and offer apps like YouTube, Jio TV and more. Today, the company has announced the availability of the world’s most popular messaging app, Whatsapp. After successful completion of the trials, for the first time, WhatsApp will be available for JioPhone across India. WhatsApp built a new version of its private messaging app for JioPhone, running the Jio-KaiOS, to give people a simple, reliable, and secure way to communicate with friends and family. The new app offers 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 a 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.
