APPARENTLY starting November 1, 2021, many people are threatened with not being able to use the app WhatsApp on his phone again. This is because of an update made by the application exchanging messages and calls.
WhatsApp will soon update support for the Android and iOS iPhone operating systems (OS) running this application. Quoted from Mysanantinio.com, it is said that support will only be provided on 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 older versions. Please change to a supported device or save your chat history before that date,” WhatsApp wrote.
This shows that cellphones with operating systems under Android OS 4.1 and below iOS 10 will not be able to verify existing accounts. In addition, you can no longer create a new account. That is, upgrading the OS is a must, or it could be by buying a new phone.
