 "HMD Global chief hints at WhatsApp support coming to Nokia's banana phone")
Looks like the entry of the JioPhone has already created ripples in the cellular phone market. **Yesterday** , at Reliance’ 41st Annual General Meeting, Reliance Jio announced that its JioPhone 2 and the JioPhone would come enabled with WhatsApp, Facebook, YouTube support in its KaiOS platform. Following the announcement, the chief product officer of HMD Global Juho Sarvikas tweeted:
The tweet made it quite clear that WhatsApp might soon feature in its banana phone, or the **Nokia 8110 4G** . When it was unveiled at the Mobile World Congress in 2018, the phone reminded one of the old flip phones. With a move similar to the JioPhone, Nokia could turn the attention towards feature phones again as a booming market.
