NS Facebook-Proprietary messaging app, WhatsApp, will soon disappear from your old phone. The reason for this is the update of the world’s largest used messaging platform. WhatsApp will stop working on older Android and iOS devices from November 1.
WhatsApp’s new and updated security patches will automatically log out people using older Android and iOS smartphones. The messaging app has cited privacy as part of the move.
“WhatsApp has said that the app will not support older versions of both Android and iOS. “Anyone who supports Android OS 4.1 and above and a smartphone running iOS 10 and above will only be able to use the messaging app,” WhatsApp said in the statement.
WhastApp will be available on Android running OS 4.1 and above, iPhone on iOS 10 and above and KaiOS 2.5.0 and newer, which includes JioPhone and JioPhone 2. Operating systems that will not support the app are Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich, iOS 9, and KaiOS 2.5.0.
You can check your phone’s OS status in the settings menu and know if you will be able to use WhatsApp from November onwards or if you need a new phone for it.
