    • Hi, do not worry to reboot or restart or soft reset Nokia 610, because your picture or other important data will not wipe or not deleted from your phone. It only refresh with installed operating system. But if you mean about to hard reset or reformat, then we suggest to backup all important data to microSD simcard before doing master format.

  1. Hi, I cant use whatsapp on my Nokia Lumia 610. I installed the application but it needs verification of Old Number. I dont have the old number and the SIM Card. How can I clean this whatsapp application so that i will be able to verify the new number. You may inbox on brianmututu@gmail.com

    • Hi, we are not sure about old number that requested by Whatsapp, because as far as we know Whatsapp will only ask active phone number that can be received sms or phone call. If you can not use old phone number at your Nokia Lumia 610, then you can give new number that use at your phone right now. However, if still ask for same question, then please do hard reset to reformat your Nokia Lumia 610 operating system to factory default, and please reinstall new Whatsapp application again.
