What’s up? It is not only one of the most used instant messaging services by users in the world, but also one of the most downloaded applications. One of the secrets of its success is its constant updating, which, although it may seem like an advantage, has caused the end of support for some mobiles, as it will be on September 30.
(You may be interested: WhatsApp Web will not be compatible with these computers).
This application has become an almost indispensable channel for communication. At first, WhatsApp only offered to send and receive text messages, but over time, various updates, statuses and the possibility to join groups of up to 512 members have been implemented.
But the implemented improvements require higher performance from the smartphone, so it is normal for many mobile phone models to lag behind and not have the opportunity to update, mainly due to the outdated operating system.
a) Yes, Meta has announced the list of mobile phones as of September 30. will no longer be compatible with the messages app, and includes devices with both Android and iOS operating systems.
Devices with OS lagging and no longer compatible with the latest versions will be left without WhatsApp.
Special, On the Android side, there will be mobile phones with version 4.0.1 or lower, and on the Apple side, there will be mobile phones with iOS 12 or earlier.
