A notable aspect of these offerings is that these can seemingly serve as ideal tools for BIZ Experiencess who are newbies or those residing in rural Indian geographies.

For early BIZ Experiencesial adapters

Now, the new Jio Phone is not the only offering by Jio, the company also announced that it would soon integrate its KaiOS with WhatsApp, YouTube, and Facebook. This integration would begin from August 15; and the apps are applicable to all JioPhone users.

BIZ Experiencess, with Jio Phones, should essentially be able to download WhatsApp, Facebook, and YouTube; from August 15.
