NO....Nobody knows yet. Not before official release of WP8.1 I believe!

Contact them & ask: WhatsApp :: Contact
If they get bugged by enough Windows Phone users, they'll have no choice but to push out an update.

Well, that would be today. From today on, you can buy the Lumia 630 in various markets, which I would count as official release of WP8.1

No, it's only RTM (Retail to manufacturers) not a GA (General Availablity). GA counts and btw, official lifecycle starts on 24th.

We should do this to every major dev. I sent out some to Amazon India to get an app for us and they indirectly said they weren't making it.
I also did this to SBI (State Bank of India) and they said that nobody had asked for it so they thought there was no demand and within 4 or 5 months they published the app.

Wait, what? Amazon India specifically told me that they are working on an India specific app. This was about a month and a half ago.

Here's the link: Amazon India working on a Windows Phone app | WMPoweruser

And they told me and another guy just days ago they aren't working but in a very indirect way. http://forums.windowscentral.com/wi...n-india-not-developing-app-windows-phone.html

OKAY THAT WAS TOO INDIRECT! Maybe they are working but that was as of 2 months ago. It was reported on WPCentral also.

by the way, the topic is whatsapp update not amazon etc.

LOL: I got same cliched reply from Citibank that they are in process of developing windows phone app. It has been 3 months when I queried last time

So you are saying even though a WP8.1 phone is now officially released and available in stores, the OS is still not in GA and therefore not supported by Microsoft just yet?

 

[anon(8657436)]

Yes. The official GA happens when they upload the final OS (firmware and all) to their servers or when the support lifecycle starts. The phone is RTM because manufacturers can then install it and test on their new phone designs. That's how we are available to access the dev preview.

[Pushynachan]

I can't find WhatsApp in windowsphone store in India

 

[Reebs Reebs]

Not available for me in the US either.

Most probably I think they pulled it off so that they could make changes and in the meanwhile people would stop giving it bad ratings.
