As of September 1, nearly fifty phones will no longer be compatible with the Whatsapp application due to updates that will make some phones obsolete.
Yes, that's correct. WhatsApp announced on February 14, 2023, that it will stop supporting certain older phones from September 1, 2023. The affected phones are those that run on Android 4.0.4 or older, or iOS 9 or older.
The list of affected phones includes:
- Android:
- Archos 53 Platinum
- HTC Desire 500
- LG Lucid 2
- Motorola Defy Mini
- Nokia Cricket
- Samsung Galaxy Trend Lite
- Samsung Galaxy Trend II
- Samsung Galaxy S2
- Samsung Galaxy S3 mini
- Sony Xperia M
- Sony Xperia Miro
- Sony Xperia Neo L
- Wiko Cink Slim
- iOS:
- iPhone 4s
- iPod touch (5th generation)
If you are using one of these phones, you will no longer be able to send or receive messages, make or receive calls, or use any other features of WhatsApp after September 1. You will need to upgrade to a newer phone that is compatible with WhatsApp.
WhatsApp has been gradually phasing out support for older phones for a few years now. This is because the company needs to keep up with the latest security and privacy features, which require newer hardware and software. By sunsetting support for older phones, WhatsApp can ensure that its users have the best possible experience.
If you are not sure if your phone is compatible with WhatsApp, you can check the list of supported devices on the WhatsApp website. You can also try updating your phone's operating system to see if that makes it compatible with WhatsApp.
