According to a report for Gadget-360, the JioPhone that is scheduled for pre-bookings from 24th of August will not be supporting the world’s popular messaging app ‘Whatsapp’ and that’s certainly a huge drawback for the free-device. The effect of not boasting whatsapp app would eventually cut down a marginal number of users looking to buy this phone, all thanks to massive usage of Whatsapp in India and across globe. Also, few other reports hint that there would a daily cap of 500MB on the unlimited data plan (Rs 153/month).
