Note! Starting November 1, 15 HP Brands Can No Longer Use WhatsApp

Jakarta, Insertlive –

Millions of cell phones are in danger of not being able to use anymore WhatsApp as of November 1, 2021. This happened because WhatsApp did an update and made the old operating system (OS) unable to run it anymore.

WhatsApp will update support for Android OS and iOS iPhone running this app. Support will only be provided for Android running OS 4.1 (Jelly Bean) and above, iOS 10 and above and phones running KaiOS 2.5.1.

“Starting November 1, 2021, WhatsApp will no longer support phones running OS 4.0.4 and earlier versions. Please change to a supported device or save your chat history before that date,” WhatsApp wrote.

This notification is also a sign that phones using OS below the OS mentioned by WhatsApp cannot do this verification on the existing account and can no longer create a new account.
