“WhatsApp will stop working on Symbian devices after December 31, 2016.”
Main reason behind this action is capability issue. WhatsApp is expanding its features day by day but Symbian doesn’t offer those kind of capability, therefore WhatsApp is to end support for this platform at the end of this year.

“They (platforms) don’t offer the kind of capabilities we need to expand our app’s features in the future.”
