Reliance Jio Infocomm (RJio), a subsidiary of Reliance Industries (RIL), has launched WhatsApp on all JioPhones. Since its launch two years ago, RJio has garnered a subscriber base of over 215 million users.
“We will be providing WhatsApp, the most used chat application in the world, on all JioPhones starting today,” said Akash Ambani, Director at RJio.
“During this movement of connecting the unconnected, many partners came forward to strengthen the cause. One such partner who has really stood by us from the beginning is Facebook and its ecosystem. The result of one such partnership is out for the world to see today,” he added.
The launch follows successful completion of the trials. WhatsApp has built a new version of its private messaging app for JioPhone, running on Jio-KaiOS, it added.
“By designing this new app for KaiOS, we hope to expand the ability for people to communicate with anyone in India and around the world by offering the best messaging experience possible to JioPhone users,” said Chris Daniels, Vice President at WhatsApp.
