Update: WhatsApp now officially supports Nokia X Series and hence the tutorial below has been modified accordingly.
Nokia X family, the first Nokia phones running Android have already started seeding in various markets and if you’ve picked one up, you’d notice that WhatsApp is not present in the Nokia Store yet. But there is still the way to install it. Here’s how:
How to Install WhatsApp on Nokia X, X+, X2 and XL
On 2nd September 2014, WhatsApp released an update (version 2.11.371) which directly supports the Nokia X series devices. I’ve personally tried it on the Nokia X2 and it worked pretty smooth.
- On your phone, go to settings> security and check the box in front of Unknown Sources.
- Click here to download the latest version of WhatsApp on your Nokia X device. Wait for the download to finish (you can check the download progress in the Fastlane by swiping right from the homescreen).
- When the download finishes, tap on the downloaded WhatsApp.apk file to begin the installation.
- When installed, just open WhatsApp and complete the verification.
- Start using WhatsApp on your Nokia X, X+ and XL.
Finally it is moment of rejoice for the Nokia X users as there isn’t a need of workarounds anymore and you can install WhatsApp normally on your Nokia X, X+, XL and X2.
Please comment below if it works for you or not. Your feedback will help others 🙂
Thanks Elton for updating us. Cheers.

It is for the Android version of X2. For X2-00, please open whatsapp.com and download.
It’s showing sms verification failed
Do you have the SIM card inserted to your phone?
Well done

How can i download whatsapp in dis.. I tried many times.. But im nt getting it..
Its S40 based X2-00
You need to download it from http://www.whatsapp.com/s40/ in that case. The method is for Android based Nokia X2.
Jus now i downloaded whatsapp in nokia x2 according to ur steps.. Its downloaded completely. But wen i open whatsapp.apk file… Its showing an error dat file format error. Nd another thing is i didnt understand 1st step. Settings-security-check box i didnt get any check box of unknown sources
Is that the Android powered Nokia X2 or S40 based X2-00 and the likes?
earlier i ws using whatsapp on my nokia x.. but it stopped working.. i was unable to send or receive any message..i have uninstalled it and installed it again but while doing verification it got stuck.. please help me..
Thanks alot dear it was really helping
You’re welcome dear 🙂 Enjoy!
I have downloaded whatsapp but can’t verify my phone number on nokia x2. How do I do dis? I get the response “Your client has been changed. Get google play services. Pls jelp me sort this out.
Are you running the latest version of Play Services?
Nokia X2 android phone uses a Windows OS, which does not support Google Play Services…unless I am wrong. I guess that’s why I keep getting that response. I had whatsapp on my phone before. But, when I downloaded the update, I couldn’t verify my phone number on the new update. Please help. Thanks
Actually Google Play Services were added to the phone via a software update. And it doesn’t use Windows. It is Android, skinned to be like Windows Phone. Try installing a store like 1Mobile and see if it shows update for Google Play Services. Also, is your phone software updated to the latest?
M having service not available problem while downloading and loading..but the opera mini is still working.
Plz solve my proble
Why in nokia x2 ds whatsapp always shows 24 hrs time format??

Looks like the Xpress Browser is not working. Can you try using any other download manager to complete the APK download? Say UC Browser?

What error are you seeing? It should work just fine.
After dwnlding the latest version of Whats App, it is not possible to INSTALL the same! Whenever the INSTALL option is clicked, the phone is switched off automatically only to start again—-WITHOUT INSTALLATION! Another problem is that, as soon the phone is switched on, several msgs with apps which have stopped working pops up! Can’t understand what to do! Feels that it has been a really bad investment by me to purchase a NOKIA XL DUAL SIM phone! Pl. Help me in proving me wrong, if anybody can! I wld be ever grateful!
It seems to be a problem with your device. Consider resetting it to factory state.
Singh, you are the best bro! App works like clockwork! Dude – are you like a comp. science student or something ?? #Just Curious …
Hmm.. Will sound strange, but I’m a Management student 😛 Just maintaining this blog as a part-time hobby and out of my interest for mobile phones and other gadgets 🙂
Works perfectly well. Thanks

As WhatsApp support now answers that Nokia X devices are supported, I am sure it will work fine after update. In case it doesn’t, you can always downgrade 🙂
Hi Narendra,
My Nokia x has got formated and I’m trying to install the whatsapp from the link as you have adviced, but I still get Devie not supported.
Strange! Can you somehow find out the WhatsApp version that you have in your phone?
thanks bro
it works great for me
Hi Narendra,
This is really one of most useful threat regarding Nokia X and related watsapp issues. Kudos to you 🙂
I have one quick question, I have Nokia X device running software version 11.1.1 .. can I go ahead and install this new version of watsapp? N how shall I do it? First by creating backup and uninstallation and then download or by updating it ( I cant see update option in 1mobile market..only uninstall and open option) and yes in Nokia store, watsapp is not listed.. or im using obsolete version of Nokia store.. I dont know that whether nokia store needs to be updated too.. pls enlighten 🙂
Oops I meant thread 🙂 not threat.. also, my account in watsapp is valid till 2016. And I dont wish to old chats
Thanks for the nice words, Abhishek 🙂
Usually it’s easy. You just download the new version and install it on top of the older. Still, because you say you need your chats, do create a duplicate of your WhatsApp backup folder (usually WhatsApp in the phone memory or SD card) or else create a full backup using apps such as Helium from Cynogen
Once you have the backup, download the APK using the link provided in the post and then open it. Proceed with the installation and it will replace the former version without any data loss.
Otherwise you can delete the older and install the newer version. You should not lose your old chats in this case either.
Oops I meant thread 🙂 not threat.. also, my account in watsapp is valid till 2016. And I wish to keep my old chats
Your advice will be highly appreciated 🙂
Thanks and cheers
I see you’re making a lot of typos there 😛 Nevermind.. you have the answer
hey works fine now… ur a savior
Great great! Good to know that it helps and thanks for yet another confirmation of it working fine 🙂

Nokia XL updated version 1.2.3.2 download bhi ho gya install bhi bt number verify k liye options nhI aa rha agr latest version use krta hu whatsapp ka to device not supported aata hai agr old version use krta hu to download ka option aa jata hai please help me
Please check the post. Updated the guide and it’s very easy to install WhatsApp on your Nokia XL.
Its not working….
When I open it, its saw that the device is not supported…. I can’t registration on whatsapp……
What should I do…..
Did you actually download the latest version from WhatsApp website? :/
Plz help not installed whatapp Nokia xl
Any error message popping up?
Well temporary solution is to download old version , like in my mobile its 2.11.186 n install it , possibly after changing your Mobile date to May month date..guess 4th May and it will work
But problem is other apps may not work properly. Anyway who use yahoo mail, google, Twitter etc as frequently as watsapp. So whenever you feel like using these apps just change date to current date and reset date back to May month date when u want to use watsapp.
And we have a permanent solution now 🙂 WhatsApp is officially supported!
what is sw version of yours nokia xl my is 1.1.1.0
I don’t have a XL. I tried it on a Nokia X2 version 2.0 🙂
will this work on my nokia x?? bcoz all the reviews which i can see is for nokia xl.. 🙁
Works for all the Nokia X(Android) series 🙂 So yep.. X is included too.
Plz help us whatsapp
Have you installed it by following the steps in the post? 🙂
How is it , Possible , can u plz help me
What? Couldn’t get you 🙁
Hi Narendra,
It doesn’t look like there will be a solution for Whatsapp for X series some time soon. Installing it by rooting process risks the warranty of the handset I guess.. Appreciate if you could share that rooting is a 100% sure shot way of intstalling it in Nokia X series…
Luckily, we weren’t supposed to wait for too long. WhatsApp is now officially supported. Check the post for details 🙂
Will whatsapp work later on
Try right now! It works 🙂
I need to use whatsapp and this damn website is so boring. Any sujjestions?
If the website is boring, better try somewhere else. I can’t help, unfortunately.
Bahot try karke pak gaya. Wasted 200 Mb in downloading whatsapp . Please help me . I have Nokia XL . Every time
Try now. It will work comfortably 🙂
what’s app plus not working it tells me it will verify the message but then error occurs I tried using voice call
everything done as u told plz help
Please check the post now. I have updated it with a better way.
its not work
Works now. Come and try 🙂
