The popular instant messaging app WhatsApp will no longer be available on some smartphones starting January 1, 2021. We will tell you what they are.
As reported by the app on the questions and answers page, these are devices that use Android 4.0.3 and iOS 9 or their older versions. In this way, users will be required to update their operating system to access the application and receive technical assistance.
In particular, these are iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPhone S, iPhone 7 and iPhone 6S and other older Apple models. As for Android devices, they are HTC Desire, LG Optimus Black, Motorola Droid Razr and Samsung Galaxy S2. While some users will be able to continue the application if they receive an operating system patch, others will be forced to buy a new device.
To see if your mobile phone is compatible with the app, Android users need to access the settings section titled About phone. And if you’re an Apple user, you need to access your smartphone’s settings, then see general information about your device. Please note that all users will receive a notification from the app about the need to update their operating system.
