In a Nokia 3310 you can forget to use Instagram, comment on your brother’s holiday on Facebook, and even speak for WhatsApp. But there are things that this Nokia mobile can do, and that is precisely what we will comment. Nokia Factory installs a lightened version of the Opera browser, and with that we have everything you need to start surfing the nets.
Nokia also has an application store. It is the so-called Opera Mobile Store, and you can visit it from this link, although we anticipate that it is nothing but a store of applications and games in Java. It has games of all types and all colors, but keep in mind that here you will find neither WhatsApp, nor Facebook or Gmail; The only “trick ” To access these services is to open the browser again, and not even that serves for everything.
The Nokia 3310 Web browser can be used for certain tasks that on any Android mobile we usually do from a specific application. That includes-for example-enter our Facebook to review the notifications (all with a prehistory design), or access a basic version of Gmail to review incoming emails, but little more: WhatsApp does not work even with the version of WhatsApp Web , and we can also forget to use other messaging apps like Telegram or Messenger.
This browser, in fact, serves rather for a sporadic use: we can serve to review any news of a newspaper or to consult some data on Google, but certainly not intended to replace the Internet browsing that we could do Even on the cheapest Android mobile on the market. In this Nokia we are very limited when surfing the net.
Can WhatsApp be used in the new Nokia 3310?
Every year, WhatsApp does a debugging in its compatibility with operating systems without updating, there is still a huge amount of smartphones with outdated software. For that reason, and ensure the correct functioning of the application, stop supporting several computers in the case of Nokia 3310 is by their operating system.
The list includes phones such as the faithful iPhone 4 and several models with S40, the legendary OS that included Nokia in their input range computers. In the case of Android, the new limit of use will be version 4 “Ice Cream Sandwich”, since the previous generation up to 2.3.7 “Gingerbread” ceases to have official support.
In the case of iOS 7 or less, WhatsApp can not be used from February 2020, giving a little more time to the users of this version. In that same year, Android 4 will be the minimum required to be able to install and run the messaging platform. The most troubling situation is for S40, as WhatsApp stopped working completely on December 31, 2018.
In 2016, WhatsApp announced in his blog that from January 1, 2017 its app would not be compatible with various systems, including the BlackBerry OS, BlackBerry 10, Nokia S40 and Nokia Symbian S60, Windows Phone 7, iPhone 3GS/iOS6 and Android 2.1 and Android 2.2 , premiered in 2009 and 2010.
What do I do if my phone is obsolete
