As time progresses, old phones supported by popular applications cannot get rid of being excluded from this support. Of course, WhatsApp is one of these applications. WhatsApp developers have confirmed that support for many old devices will be discontinued as of November 1, 2021. So if you have one of the phones you will see in the list below, you will either have to give up WhatsApp – although not immediately – or you will have to change your phone. The reason we say, though not immediately, is that WhatsApp won’t stop working instantly on these phones. But these phones will no longer receive updates and WhatsApp will become unusable after a while.
Actually, the list below has a basis. This means that Android 4.1 or higher Android version is required for Android users, and iOS 10 or higher iOS version is required for iOS users. In other words, if your phone has an operating system version older than Android 4.1 or iOS 10, it will no longer be supported by WhatsApp. Phones that do not receive updates for these versions will be automatically disabled. Users who receive the update but do not install it have to upgrade to the new version.
In this case, which phones will lose WhatsApp support?
