Latest Whatsapp Version

My mobile phone is a Samsung Galaxy J5.


I can no longer access Whatsapp. The screen display tells me that this is an old version and has expired as of 2.8.19 and that I should click 'download' to update to the new Whatsapp version.


However my phone will not allow me to download the new version due to no more available space. I don't really want to delete any stuff in order to make space.


Does anybody know how I can still continue to use the old Whatsapp version, which I believe is possible, it's just that I don't know how to if I can't access it?

    Have you cleared the cached data?
    Then run though each App to see if there is more data or cached data to be cleared.
    Do you have an SD card in the phone that media files can be copied too to free up space?
    You can download the latest Whatsapp .APK file to a laptop then manually transfer it to the download folder on your phone, that may get round the phone's reluctance to download direct.

    Uninstall the old version and re download from the Play Store.

    You can try GbWhatsApp which is amazing app with more features then official

    Sure bro ... we'll all follow the advice from a new poster to install an app that needs to be side-loaded and which doesn't really appear to provide any additional benefit over the official app. ;)
