The reason why WhatsApp can no longer be used on these phones is because the operating system no longer supports it. Because the minimum operating system for using WhatsApp is Android 4.1, iOS 12 and KaiOS 2.5.0.
“Devices and software change frequently, so we periodically review which operating systems we will support and make updates,” WhatsApp said on its official blog.
Just like other tech companies, WhatsApp will continue to look at which devices and software are the oldest and have the fewest users to determine which ones will be shut down.
“These devices may also not have the latest security updates or may not have the functionality needed to run WhatsApp,” the company continued.
This is the list of cell phones that will not be able to use WhatsApp starting next year. For those of you who are still using it, immediately switch to the latest mobile model so you can use WhatsApp.
