Some of you may have realised that Whatsapp - a popular messenger app and one of our must-have iPhone apps has disappeared from the App Store.
When you click on the App Store link - you get the error message informing you that "The item you've requested is no longer requested in the App Store".
It is not clear why WhatsApp has removed their iPhone app from the App Store, but WhatsApp has tweeted that they've submitted a new version and waiting for Apple to approve it.
Sorry, WhatsApp is temporarily unavailable on iTunes. We submitted a new version and are awaiting approval and publication by Apple
We're not sure if the app was removed by Apple or WhatsApp voluntarily removed it, but the fact that WhatsApp is waiting for Apple to approve an updated version seems to indicate that Apple has removed it for some reason.
WhatsApp hasn't provided any details on their blog. The last post on their blog talks about how they are doing 2 million TCP connections on a single server.
We've have sent an email to folks at WhatsApp and let you know when we get more details about the unavailability.
Thanks White Angel for the tip!

its because the whatsapp is not sfae!! if you are working on a wifi connection anyone has access to that wifi can easily hack into the whatsapp and see whatever you write and send in the app.
Shut up will u.. Pfft. Foo
is that becuase Whatsapp has been changed to ” Touch ” ..??
Touch was an upgraded version of Ping….
and some people messaging that it is going to be paid on network.
glad i already got it!
It’s obviously a new realease. Why the ‘alarming post. Pointless.
when will we find out about it working again
Kinda late. It was pulled the other day.
Message going round on whats app saying this:
Hello everybody.
WhatsApp is going to cost us money soon. The only way that it will stay free is if you are a frequent user i.e. you have at least 10 people you are chatting with. To become a frequent user send this message to 10 people who receive it (2 ticks) and your WhatsApp logo should turn Red to indicate a frequent user.
Hoax
Not true.
APPLE ITUNES NEEDS TO HURRY THE FCK UP & APPROVE zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
they have already approved it..
