In a few days, many people can be without access to WhatsApp. There are several reasons why the messaging app may stop working. Among the points, we have the gadgets old manufacturing that don’t have enough memory to receive new updates. Anyone who has one of these at home needs to prepare.
Cell phones no longer work the same way. All apps crash frequently. Also, the memory doesn’t allow for as many upgrades. These people are the ones affected by the failure to update WhatsApp in January. To check if this will be your case, check the list of devices that will no longer be compatible.
WhatsApp does not operate on these devices
The trend is that older cell phones no longer receive updates from various applications, not just the messenger. This time, for WhatsApp, the biggest affected will be Android devices. As already mentioned, we are talking about older smartphones, with technologies that no longer fit the market and do not meet the necessary requirements to receive this type of support.
The cut-off date for these phones will be January 31 of this year. After this period, the operating system may leave its owner with no alternative: if you want to use the messenger and other apps, you will need to buy a new cell phone soon.
