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