As at the time of writing this post on Samsung device and WhatsApp app, you can only use WhatsApp on a smartphone running Android 2.1 or Android Eclair and above. Meaning that WhatsApp still supports some devices other than Samsung such as Nokia Asha, Symbian phones, Blackberry, iPhone, and the likes.
The very best way to install WhatsApp on Samsung devices when you have an issue installing the app is not by contacting Samsung customer care, it’s simply by contacting the app developer. To contact app developer when you have problem installing apps on your Samsung devices, go to the app store and you will see the app developer contact.
Fill the contact form and send a message to the developer concerning the problem you are facing installing their app. In no time, the app developer may take a look at it and see whether the inability to install the app is as a result of bugs.
So, rather than contacting WhatsApp that you weren’t able to install WhatsApp on your Samsung devices just make sure you follow this procedure first to see whether it will help solve the problem.
