Must read

Do you have an older phone? Then there is a chance that you will no longer be able to use WhatsApp. WhatsApp will stop supporting the messaging service on various Apple and Android devices from January 1.

OPERATING SYSTEM

It concerns 47 models on which new operating systems can no longer be installed. For example, to use WhatsApp on an iPhone, you need at least iOS 12 and Android devices must run at least Android 4.1. Does your phone run on an older operating system? Then you will have to find another way to send messages from 1 January.

SAFETY

WhatsApp explains in a statement on the help page of their website why they choose to no longer support the old operating systems. “These older devices may not have the latest security updates or may lack the functionality needed to run WhatsApp.” The messaging service indicates that this means that they can no longer guarantee the quality and security of the app.
