You Won’t be Able to Access WhatsApp if You Are using These Phones

Better get down to the phone shop – WhatsApp is removing support for a ton of old Android and iOS models from November 1st, meaning you will no longer be able to send messages and photos to your loved ones

It’s bad news for anyone who has taken care of an old phone for years, rather than buying the latest model every six months.

Facebook-owned platform will stop working on phones that run on systems older than Android OS 4.1, Apple’s iOS 10 and KaiOS 2.5.1, according to its FAQ section.

All of these phones will not receive support from WhatsApp and will be incompatible with the app.

If this includes your device, you’ll need to upgrade to a newer model of phone that has an operating system the company supports – or use a different messaging service altogether.
