From November, WhatsApp will no longer be available on a number of Android smartphones. Due to constant updates, some old telephones can no longer keep up and can no longer support these new functions. And then the WhatsApp support is over. As is now the case with many models.
WhatsApp is available for devices with Android 4.0.4 or higher. From November 1st, however, this will no longer be sufficient, then any device with an older version will lose the ability to update. Presumably a new version of WhatsApp will be rolled out that day.
On WhatsApp you can read that at least Android 4.1 or higher must be installed as a prerequisite for installing or updating the messenger on Android. And so there is no support for the following models:
- Samsung Galaxy Galaxy Trend Lite, Galaxy Trend II, Galaxy SII, Galaxy S3 mini, Galaxy Xcover 2, Galaxy Core and Galaxy Ace 2.
