Unknown why Microsoft keeps telling me through the desktop website that WhatsApp doesn't work on my Nokia Lumia 530?
I tried it once. Didn't work; Figured I had to update the OS. Updated the OS. Still, can't download WhatsApp Software. When browsing through my desktop PC, Microsoft tells me that the software I'm looking for doesn't work with my Nokia Lumia 530. I click a link in the text that sends me lower, to a part that shows me what devices WhatsApp runs with (This all in the official Microsoft Website). I see that it runs with Windows 8.1. I checked the OS version of my Nokia Lumia and.. Suprise! It's 8.1!! I'm trying to figure what goes on over at Microsoft's end since they still can't recognize that my phone is updated to Windows 8.1, and thus I can't download it manually from the desktop website. Suggestions?
You may have a corrupted 8.1. Make sure that you are logged into your Nokia and Microsoft accounts before you begin the install and that your WiFi is enabled. Your device is supported, so you are correct there is something stopping you. If you have your Family Account set up, check your birthdate and age because this app is restricted and that could also be the reason it is not downloading.

After the removal of the app from the market store, is there any other ways to download this app?
Unfortunately, there is no other way that you can download the application for your Windows mobile phone; the application was removed for some reason in the Windows application store. We all know that the said application is totally popular all over the globe as there are 500 Million active users on all phone platforms. You may find the application at HERE, but it simply says that the application is no longer published. Remember that the application was bought by Facebook for $19 Billion last April 23, 2014, and its last update was January of this year.
Facebook did not provide a specific or official reason why they took it off from the said platform. One common reason "Might" be the review of all the users who downloaded the application, which they found it too slow, hangs, bugs, unresponsive and so on and some have found that the backup is not also working. You might also find that almost all possible problem will occur on the application, but on other platforms for the said application works very well and one user said "WhatsApp in Symbian is far better than Windows. So many bugs. Audio will stop playing after 10 seconds. There is no option to upload audio files from SD card. The app is too slow at starting etc.". However, users who have downloaded the application previously can continue using the service on their Windows mobile phone.
Unfortunately, in the meantime what you can do is to wait if the application will be put back to the Windows app store for you to download the said app. If you have any other phones that are being supported by the application, then you can download the app to that phone instead and enjoy using it. You may also go to this LINK to read the community feedback about the application and what not.
The ad is disrupting everything
Unfortunately, it is only normal to encounter hassle if you see ads on your WhatsApp. These ads will be removed once you are going to pay for the service since the application is for free for first time user you may need to get used to it for 1 year, or if you want to get rid of it, then you need to pay for the service charge of $.99. Once you have paid for the service, all ads will automatically be removed on your application once you are going to use it.
