A lot of the HMD/Nokia phones have WhatsApp. All those running KaiOS I believe, but not Signal :-( Edit: Looking more at the specs and the promotional material

Edit: Looking more at the specs and the promotional material, this starts to make a little more sense. Barbie brand the phone, in an attempt to make it trendy, so that young girls will want it. Avoid adding the social media, so not to expose the girls to an environment which we know to be bad for them. It actually makes a little sense, but sure if young teens are that into Barbie though. I'd love to see the sales numbers next year.
- MainanTagonist 2y agoWhatsapp has been disabled for new registration as of June this year, and will be disabled for all registered users from January next year. So these phones are mostly useless going forward. Fancy, but under powered, and unable to pull off instant messaging in a reliable enough manner. My son used a Nokia 7880 for the past 3 years, i unsuccessfully tried switching to a nokia 800 tough from January to May this year and intended for my daughter to have her own flip Nokia phone, to no avail. We reluctantly had them switch to secondhand smartphones over the summer...
