WhatsApp Back on Windows Phone Store Nearly Two Weeks After Removal

The multi-platform instant messaging app WhatsApp quietly pulled a Houdini on the Windows Phone Store nearly two weeks ago when it was taken off the store due to technical issues.
While existing WhatsApp users did not have a problem with the app working, users who wanted to sign-up for the app were left stranded as search results for the app on the Windows Phone Store returned the message "We couldn't find a match. Try a different spelling or search term.".

However, nearly two weeks later, on Friday, Joe Belfiore, who heads the Windows Phone/Tablet/PC product definition & design team, tweeted, 'WhatsApp is back. Happy Weekend'. He posted the tweet along with the link to download the app from the Windows Phone Store, which shows May 30 as the last update.
