WhatsApp continues to spread its scope; this time, it is releasing its latest update for Nokia Asha and Symbian S40.

According to Neurogadget, WhatsApp has not forgotten its existence on the Symbian S40; in fact, it is rolling out its first update for the platform -- the WhatsApp update 2.13.21. The said update has been made available on the Nokia Asha 201 (Nokia C3) as well. The new WhatsApp update aims to address what users have mostly complained in the past. Unfortunately, it will not deliver any new features for the platform.

Although no official announcement has been made regarding the latest Symbian S40 WhatsApp update, rumors online say that it can possibly feature voice calling. The latest emojis, which have been combined on previous WhatsApp updates in other platforms, is also expected to appear on WhatsApp update 2.13.21. The update has also decreased in size, shedding 1kb from its original size. The file, despite decreasing in size, did not remove any present working features but modifies several of ones. As it turns out, modification is the ultimate purpose of the update instead of adding more features.

In order to install WhatsApp update 2.13.21, you will need to uninstall the older version that you have on your Nokia Asha phone. After uninstalling the app, visit whatsapp.com/s40 and download the updated app from the website. By tapping the jar file, the latest WhatsApp version will automatically be downloaded on you Nokia Asha device. Once the app is installed, your number will need to be verified before you can fully access the WhatsApp application.

In an announcement made on the Windows' blog, it said the Nokia Asha 501 is definitely refreshed with its extensive software update, improvements and additional features. According to the blog, all newly released Nokia 501 will be fully equipped with the said updated software and apps.
