whatsapp not working on iphone 3G

I am using whatsapp on iphone 3G since one year. Today i couldnt log on to whatsapp, it says the new version cannot support my iOS and is asking me to update the same. However iOS 4.3 can not be updated on iphone 3G. This means i can not use whatsapp on my iphone 3G anymore. Any solutions?

iPhone 3G, iOS 4.1, whatsapp not working on iphone 3G

I did not say you work for Apple - judging from the tone of your posts I don't think they would employ you.


I just worked out that I can buy 13 Galaxy Pockets for the price of one iPhone5. That should last way longer than 4 1/2 years, and will most likely still be supported / upgradable with Android. If not, I can buy a new one every 4 months and stay current!


I still do not get what you are doing on this forum working yourself up if it does not affect you???

Hi,


my watsapps is working now in my Iphone 3G.


FYI, i reinstalled the WhatsApp Messenger version 2.8.4 by using the old version of Itunes. I tried in the latest Itune but is not working, there was an error pop up while installing the watsapps. After reinstalled, i start whatsapps in my phone and i found system start verified my phone number instead of asked me to upgrade IOS 4.3 or above like last time.

WhatsApp Messenger version 2.8.4 for iPhone 3G the end version iOS 4.2.1,

I am very lucky that I can found a old version of app from my old PC application folder then drop to iTunes again,

it working now in my iPhone 3G,

Before drop the app, remember zip the app first,

If not it will be replaced if any update action, keep it not up date whatsapp from today if you are using old iPhone.

If you never keep the apps back up only JB can help you,

Apple I'd is write in to the app, not allow use by other user.

So check your other iTunes folder may be a good luck will come to you.

Today my wife got a tablet Lenco TAB-1014 Android 4.0 delivered. She was a prizewinner there.

I read in the instructions about possibility of Dongel and simcard etc.

Pure experimenting I donwloaded WhatsApp as first App. I put on the phonenumber of my wife and

so got a textmessage wth verification code. Put in this code on the tablet, had to wait 4 min's et voila!

WhatsApp is up and running on this tablet without a simcard! All the missed messages came streaming in as well.

Did first app conversation and am stunned.

Bye bye Apple!!! Bye bye forum

nor do KiltedTim's replies to the topic or the people's oppinions. one thing will happen though... apple will close a lot of doors for buyers. they created the smartphone and tablet markets but they can't stay on top with this attitude... looking forward to apple computers becoming a subsidiary of Google Inc 😀
