The wait is over.
Ever since Skype and Whatsapp for Symbian^3 stopped working, dozens of people have sought either a way to revive these apps or for a replacement. But after discovering working Flash embed points for social media connections for Skype and Whatsapp long thought to be dead, Skype and Whatsapp are finally back via Flash.
This software was designed to be ran on Symbian^3 smartphones but it can theoretically be run on any Flash capable device.
Download
Download it now and try it for yourself. Make sure you read the included readme file before starting it up. A copy of which can be found below the download link.
Before attempting to run either program, extract the folder within the .zip file you downloaded to a location on your phone. Before you launch either Skype or Whatsapp from the default Symbian file browser, please make sure your phone is either connected to a Wi-Fi network or has an available 3G data connection. When you launch both of the .swf files for the first time, you will receive some pop up messages. The first one will say 'Allow application to access domain? Application will be restarted. Tap Yes The next message will say 'Flash content error: 7' Tap OK Both of these messages can be dismissed and won't re-appear the next time you launch either Skype or Whatsapp. You may also receive a message saying 'Allow Flash content to establish network connection?' Tap Yes
Running it on a computer
As this software is made in Adobe Flash which can easily run on a variety of platforms, I have decided to include a method of running it on Windows and Macintosh (Intel, Apple Silicon compatible via Rosetta). Unfortunately there isn't an option for GNU+Linux as I'm not able to get it working properly.
