I cannot download WhatsApp for my Lumia 720 Windows phone?

After uninstalling, I cannot reinstall it

There is simply one reason why you are not able to download the app and that is because Windows has removed the application from the app store. The reason they pulled the app from the store and devices is so that they can fix the bugs that are occurring on the device.

They have not given a specific time limit on how long it is going to take, but they have said that once it is fixed, they will return the app to be used on Windows devices:

I cannot download WhatsApp. My phone is an HTC with Android?

I've used WhatsApp for almost a year and a half. I had to download it again before because I've got a warning message saying it had expired. I let a couple of days pass, and I could download it again. This time I kept on getting messages to update to latest version, but when I tried to do it, it would fail with error message "lack of memory". Now it stopped working with 21 Jan expiry date. But when I try to download it from the marketplace, it keeps on failing for lack of memory. My available memory is 1.84GB in SD card and 55.01MB Internal phone storage. Thanks.

It is. Indeed, a lack of memory. Android uses its internal memory first for downloading, extracting, and installing software. To clean your phone, uninstall unnecessary applications. Then, in applications, go to "Settings", and then go to "Application manager". Tap each application and tap "Move to SD card" and "Clear Cache" if they are available. These should clear some space for WhatsApp.
